Hey all, (long time lurker - first time poster)
I currently own a ZTE MC7010 and a Huawei CPE Pro WIN. I managed to get a hold of the new outdoor hub from Three which is a custom device made by American firm Greenpacketdevice. The model is Y5-210MU.
This device is actually very good, I have tested it for 48 hours now and had consistently better speeds on both Three and EE than i was getting on either the 7010 or the WIN. The firmware on the Y5 has band locking and cell locking built in so no need for scripts to unlock that functionality. Im not sure what the antenna gain is on the Y5 but im gonna say its higher than the 9dBi on the 7010 given the signal improvements im experiencing.
I am not sure if 5CA is supported as ive yet to see it lock onto more than 4 bands at once. Where as on the 7010 i was consistently getting 5CA albeit one of those was Band 20 which is pretty useless anyways.
There is only mid band 5G in my area so I have no way of testing any high bands like n77 or n78. The only options for me here are N1, N7 or N28. N7 is always the fastest for me so i tend to lock on to that and get a solid 300+ on EE with an SINR of 26dB.
Anyways I just wanted to briefly share my experience with the new piece of kit and give it a thumbs up its definitely going to be my new primary CPE. It performs substantially better than either of the two I have used previously and the firmware is unlocked with a lot of options.
Hope this helps for anybody interested
