If the CPE system (or Subscriber Unit – SU) only talks with the POP/AP and is at a fixed location, then it is considered to be PtP and can use power and antenna gain associated with PtP systems, as shown below. (This has been verified by FCC Certified systems using a 26 dBm radio and a 17 dBi antenna) If a CPE system is part of a mesh network, then it is considered PtMP.
