Quotation scope
An lte router price becomes comparable after the sheet names the modem class, the Ethernet ports, the antennas, the power path, the quantity, the currency, and the destination. LinkScope Sourcing 19 is an independent sourcing partner. It collects those lines so factories answer on one basis. It does not publish a standing price and it does not claim a factory floor.
Use the same unit, the same quantity, and the same Incoterm. If a row is unknown, write unknown. Do not copy a competitor’s discount language onto this sheet.
LTE bands, MIMO layer count, antenna connector, and whether the title “300” refers to a UE Category 6 downlink class as defined in 3GPP TS 36.306 (301.5 Mbit/s downlink class and 51.0 Mbit/s uplink class under the category conditions). Ask for receiver sensitivity and transmit power at the conditions the factory used. A marketing peak is not a throughput at your tower distance.
Port count, port speed, and whether the jack is intended for Category 6 channel length near 100 m. If the site uses a shorter patch, say the actual metres. Shielded versus unshielded plant changes the accessory line, not the modem silicon.
DC range or Power over Ethernet standard and watts at the device. Ingress protection and the temperature window belong here, with the test basis. A plastic desktop shell and a metal DIN-rail shell are different quotes even when the modem label matches.
Quantity, currency, per-unit or whole-order basis, freight, duties, warranty months, and lead time from order acknowledgement. Optional target budget can sit beside this row. A high-end, mid-range, budget-friendly, or undecided preference is the buyer’s stance, not a score the desk has audited.
A factory that bundles an antenna kit must say so. Otherwise the lte router price looks lower while the installed set costs more. Read the procurement brief for the evidence columns, then open inquiry names or send the sheet.
Background: quantity is 40 routers for a Midwest utility cabinet program, destination is Illinois, and the buyer has a USD whole-order budget range but no accepted quotation yet. Process: factory A prices the chassis and lists SMA pigtails as excluded; factory B prices a kit and omits the MIMO layer count. Result: the desk asks both to restate bands, 2x2 or other MIMO, pigtail loss, and Power over Ethernet watts before any total is ranked. The missing lines stay visible. They are not filled with a guessed percentage.
Exact model, bands, MIMO, antenna interface, port count, port speed, power input, SIM scope, management method, quantity, destination, and requested timing. Deviations go in a separate column.
Antennas, SIM service, licenses, freight, duties, spares, and commissioning. Also state whether the optional budget is per unit or for the whole order, and in which currency.
New and refurbished paths differ in remaining support, license transfer, and cosmetic condition. Ask the factory to label condition. Do not mix a refurbished chassis with a new-unit warranty sentence.
Send the radio row, the Ethernet row, the power row, and the commercial row together. LinkScope Sourcing 19 will ask factories to reply in that order. FREE sourcing support applies to qualified business buyers after product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements are reviewed. Any extra benefit stays within up to 3% and is not a published discount.
