Band 4 AWS(1700/2100MHz) – Operators and UEs

Band 4 (AWS 1700/2100MHz) is used in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Chile. It replaces some of the spectrum formerly allocated to Multipoint Multichannel Distribution Service (MMDS), sometimes referred to as Wireless Cable, which existed from 2150 to 2162 MHz. The AWS band uses microwave frequencies in two segments: from 1710 to 1755 MHz for uplink, and from 2110 to 2155 MHz for downlink. The service is intended to be used by mobile devices such as wireless phones for mobile data, video, and messaging services.

Now, AWS has become “an essential LTE band for LTE roaming support in North America and Latin America, advancing AWS as a solid candidate for one of the essential seven or eight LTE bands deemed critical for global roaming LTE devices and services,” said the Current Analysis report.

Huawei E5776 4G LTE Cat4 Mobile WiFi Hotspot Test

A mini router is a small device that connects to the mobile network available, whether 2G, 3G or 4G, and forwards the connection via regular wireless networks (WiFi / WLAN). Min router is running on battery power, and it is an excellent solution for the person on the go and need network access everywhere on multiple devices – without the need for separate mobile subscription and receiver for each unit.

 

Previously, we tested the solution with 4G mini router from HUAWEI, the model number is HUAWEI E589. It offers highest 4G speeds up to 100 Mbps. But there is a new alternative mini router now: HUAWEI E5776 4G LTE Cat4 Mobile WiFi Hotspot

Huawei Mobile WiFi E5776

The two mini routers have many common features. The size is approximately the same, and they are both in small size, but thicker than a smartphone. There is one button operation and a small display that shows the status of the connection, battery level, and how much data is used since the last time you turned on the mini router.

Both of them could support battery charging via a micro-USB and there is slot for microSD cards.

 

But Huawei E5776 supports download speeds of up to 150 Mbps, and can handle up to ten WiFi users or devices simultaneously. Juar like HUAWEI E589, Huawei E5776 router also has a fixed battery of 3000 mAh. Both provide a service life of up to 6 hours. Huawei E5776 also has an app for iOS where you can see consumption, battery life, manage data on micro SD card and change the settings.

 

Installation

Our sample came without a SIM card, so we tested with the same SIM card that came from the operator Telenor. To get started you need to connect the router to a PC using the USB cable. The driver is installed automatically, and a configuration program is in the flash memory of the router.  Here are the icons of HUAWEI E5776 web management pages:

Home page

 

WLAN Basic Settings

 

SD Card sharing page

Then you just have to log on as the router and use the 4G network or other wireless networks that may be available.

Performance

In use on Telenor’s network, performance and coverage of HUAWEI E5776 were measured in the same way as HUAWEI E589 4G LTE Mobile WiFi. The Limitations corresponding with the date rates are not in hardware but in the infrastructure and provider limitations. However, we could reach only speeds of 35 Mbps down and 30 Mbps up, even though, it is not something to complain about. This was the fastest we measure. Taking the subway the other hand, or move into the city, or deep in office buildings covering an entire city block, the rate drops noticeably. Sometimes we lose 4G and may even have to make do with 2G connection (also known as “Edge”). The same results happened throughout the country, when you are in sparsely populated areas.

iOS App

If you have iPhone or iPad, you can also download a free app from Huawei. This allows you to check status, data usage, battery status and change settings.

 

The app controls most.

The memory card can store photos, music or video that will be available to all users on the network. If you have a 32 GB memory card, you can store a lot of entertainment when the family at the cottage or on a trip, without having to depend on the services of the mobile network. Alternatively, there is space capacity for many presentations and other data if the HUAWEI E5776 is for work usage.

Conclusion

This mini router HUAWEI E5776 is an excellent solution, and it works on all mobile networks and mobile network solutions. You can also buy it separately, so you can choose the service itself. , we reiterate our recommendation: That a mini router provides a great improvement in your browsing experience compared to 3G when move on the surface of a city with developed 4G network, there is no doubt. While Huawei E5776 LTE Cat4 Mobile WiFi works great as a single router in a household with one person, but there is more to talk for share. Data quota may soon be empty if you are an active user.

Huawei First Industrial LTE Small Cell Router Release

HUAWEI, the world’s top telecommunication equipments vendor, released the world’s first industrial LTE small cell router on April 15, 2013. The model number of the LTE Router is ATN905.

 

Different from other 4G LTE Routers, HUAWEI ANT 905 is to help small base stations to obtain high-rate media access across a variety of scenarios, allowing operators to extend backhaul network coverage.

 

Since many GCC service providers are trialing small-cell technology, HUAWEI believes simultaneous evolution to LTE will create further demand for solutions like the HUAWEI ATN 905.

 

Designed to meet the requirements for large base station router to deploy into small base, Huawei ATN 905 could support any media access, including fibre, GPON and xDSL, to offer additional resources for the existing network. HUAWEI ATN 905 has special features that it could get power supply through Ethernet ports, and plug-and-play.

 

HUAWEI ATN 905 should not be the last small cell router, following this model, there will be more and more ATN series LTE routers. It’s said ATN 905 could provide End-to-end IP RAN mobile backhaul solution with existing ATN products.

 

In addition, the ATN 905 OAM (operations, administration and management) functions can be used to monitor Ethernet faults, allowing operators to quickly locate problems in VIP private-line services, according to Huawei.
