- Afrimax CPE is able to receive internet connectivity within designated areas. These designated areas are referred to as cells.
- Your Afrimax CPE is assigned to operate in all Afrimax cells across its coverage area. However, if you move your Afrimax CPE outside of Afrimax’s coverage area it will not be able to receive internet connectivity. This is constrained by physics and not arbitrary geofencing.
- Yes, there are Afrimax CPE customers that live in apartment buildings, town houses and other multi-family buildings that have successfully installed Afrimax CPE (e.g. side of building, balcony, roof, etc.).
- Prior to ordering Afrimax CPE, we recommend coordinating with your landlord and neighbours to find a suitable outdoor installation location that has a clear line of sight to an Afrimax cell-tower, to maintain connection between our network and your Afrimax CPE.
