Vienna – October 13, 2026 -- TCL showed its 5G AI CPE X5 at Network X 2026, a home broadband device with a theoretical peak downlink of 7.01 Gbps under 3GPP Release 18 and an agentic AI layer meant to cut operators' operations and maintenance workload.

8Rx antenna design lifts lab downlink throughput by up to 51%

The X5 combines four directional C-band antennas with up to 13 dBi gain and four omnidirectional C-band antennas. In lab testing, this 8Rx architecture delivered up to 51% higher downlink throughput than a 4Rx design. AI analyzes signal quality to help select the antenna configuration for better reception. For indoor Wi-Fi, AI-assisted signal-path selection, congestion detection and channel adjustment aim to keep connections stable.
