Features
Cudy GP1200 AC1200 WiFi Performance
The GP1200 uses 4-stream dual-band WiFi 5 to provide wireless connectivity across both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The 5 GHz band offers up to 867 Mbps, while the 2.4 GHz band supports speeds of up to 300 Mbps. This makes the router suitable for everyday browsing, streaming, online applications and connected home devices.
Key wireless specifications include:
- Dual-band WiFi 5
- Up to 867 Mbps at 5 GHz
- Up to 300 Mbps at 2.4 GHz
- 4-stream wireless design
- 2 fixed WiFi antennas
- EasyMesh support for expanded wireless coverage
GPON and EPON Fibre Connectivity
As an xPON router, the Cudy GP1200 supports both GPON and EPON operating modes. It can provide maximum line rates of up to 2.48 Gbps for GPON and 1.25 Gbps for EPON, helping it accommodate different fibre access network requirements.
The router includes one SC/APC port and supports a maximum transmission distance of up to 20 km under suitable network conditions. The optical interface uses a TX wavelength of 1310 nm and an RX wavelength of 1490 nm.
Gigabit Ethernet for Wired Devices
Four Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports allow the Cudy GP1200 to connect multiple wired devices directly to the network. Gigabit connectivity is useful for systems that require consistent local network performance, including desktop PCs, network switches, smart TVs, gaming systems and other Ethernet-enabled equipment.
The main wired and optical connections include:
- 1x SC/APC fibre port
- 4x Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports
- GPON and EPON dual-mode support
- Up to 20 km maximum transmission distance
Network Management and QoS
The GP1200 is designed with several management and service functions intended for FTTx deployments. Support for OMCI, OAM, TR069, TR098 and TR181 provides compatibility with common provisioning and management environments.
Its 4-queue QoS support can help manage traffic priorities across the network, while CWMP support enables remote device management where supported by the service provider or network environment.
EasyMesh for Wider WiFi Coverage
EasyMesh support allows compatible networking equipment to be used to create a more extensive wireless network. This can help reduce WiFi dead zones and provide more consistent coverage across larger homes, offices or other installations when compatible mesh devices are added.
