Introduction The S1000R is a variant of CommScope’s S1000 platform that uses LTE relay for backhaul connection to Sprint’s core network. The S1000R combines S1000 hardware with Sercomm’s Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) module. The CPE module provides access to user equipment through the backhaul. The S1000’s WAN Ethernet port connects to the CPE module’s LAN Ethernet port internally, providing data communication, management and packet forwarding.
