Yes. There are many customer premises equipment (CPE) options designed specifically to support residential and business broadband deployment, depending on the access technology and service model.

Common categories include:

  • Residential gateways / Wi‑Fi routers
    Used for home broadband; often combine routing, Wi‑Fi, voice, and sometimes mesh support.

  • Business broadband gateways / SD-WAN edge devices
    Built for small and midsize businesses; typically support higher reliability, VPNs, VLANs, multi-WAN, and managed services.

  • Fiber ONTs / ONU devices
    Used for FTTH/FTTP rollouts; terminate GPON/XGS-PON connections and often include Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, and voice ports.

  • Cable modems / gateways
    For DOCSIS-based broadband deployments in residential and some SMB environments.

  • Fixed wireless CPE
    Outdoor or indoor units for 4G/5G/FWA broadband, suitable for rapid residential and business expansion where fiber isn’t available.

  • Managed CPE platforms
    Often provisioned remotely by service providers to simplify installation, support, firmware updates, and diagnostics at scale.

If you want, I can also provide:

  1. a vendor/product shortlist,
  2. a comparison by broadband type (fiber, cable, FWA), or
  3. a feature checklist for choosing CPE for rollout projects.
