Nokia fastmile 5G gateway seems good choice for me
but dont know whether it will work on networks here
about CPE: you can go for TP-Link 220 2.4GHZ CPE
my 2 cent advice: use CPE and 5G router separate devices

Fastmile heats up like crazy. Speeds throttle down after that
@Lucifer_King Are you using the Nokia Fastmile? Does Jio 5G works ?
Personally I will not advise to get the Acer M3 hotspot for a few reasons.
First jio works but you will face issues like no internet because jio is probably trying to block it. Using 5G on my iPhone or my pixel first then using the sim in the router seems to fix the issue. Also the sim ejector tray is flimsy and sometimes you will have to work a bit to eject the tray.
Second ..the Functionality is very limited. You cannot even change anything like wifi/subnet/gateway IP and you cannot even use simple features like port forwarding in case you want to use a VPN with that functionality(VPN doesn’t work too).
Third the USB tethering on mac doesn’t even works even the device has a separate option to enable it for mac. i have tried it with my 14 M2 Pro …it just detects it as a usb storage or something.
Fourth - the Openvpn client doesn’t even works. I have tried with multiple vpns and even if it shows connected but the IP lookup comes as the sim provider
Also the subnet of the usb tethering and wifi is different and they cannot be configured. So those 2 devices cannot connect with each other
With Airtel I have 0 issues..only buy this device if you want a very restricted 5G hotspot. Its even more restricted than the jiofi devices except the unlocked sim.

@Lucifer_King which 5g device you recommend?
