Why HUAWEI E398u-11 4G LTE FDD USB modem is Hot?

Here now, many customers are looking for Huawei E398 4G LTE FDD USB modem, the accurate model number is Huawei E398u-11. However, due to the supply shortage, many customers have to wait for the new stock arrival, and they would never will to change other similar modems. Then someone may ask: why Huawei E398u-11 is hot in the market?

 

 

Usually, the frequency band that a 4G USB modem could support is important for user to choose and decide whether it is appropriate for specific areas or countries. Let’s have a look at the frequency band that Huawei E398u-11could support, it works with 4G LTE FDD 1800/2100/2600 MHz.

 

 

The FDD band 2600 MHz is the common band for FDD, and band 1800MHz is the most popular band, so there are many 4G USB dongle could support them. They are not the focus from customer, then the Band 2100MHz is the focus from customer, because comparing with the previous two bands, few modems are available on the market to support this band.

 

 

Another factor is also important for users: the external antenna connector. And there should be two antenna connectors available in the modem. Actually, Huawei E398u-18 also support band 2100 MHz, but most customers don’t change to E398u-18 because there is only one external antenna connector. The single pigtail can’t finish the task for MIMO connection.

 

 

The third factor is that Huawei brand. As the most professional vendor for USB modem, Huawei is always the most trustful brand not only for 3G USB dongle, but also on 4G LTE Surfstick.

 

 

 

Now that Huawei E398u-11 is in shortage, which 4G modem would be alternative foe replacement? Below are the some models for consideration:

 

 

Huawei E392u-6:

– 4G LTE bands: FDD 2600/2100/1800/900Mhz

– 3G UMTS: 900/2100Mhz

– Two external antenna connector

 

 

Sierra Wireless AirCard 320u:

– LTE 1800/2600 MHz
– WCDMA 850/900/2100 MHz

– Two external antenna connector

 

ZTE MF820:

– LTE-FDD 1800/2100/2600Mhz

– 3G UMTS 900/2100Mhz

– No external antenna connector

 

So if you can’t wait and urgent for project, the above three models could be taken into consideration or replacement.

How to Set Up Huawei E392 Wireless Connection

4G LTE modems are more and more popular, when users experience the new technology; they also face the problem about setting the new dongles.

 

Actually, it’s not difficult to set a 4G modem. Today we will have a short introduction of how to set up Huawei E392 4G LTE FDD TDD Surf sticks. Huawei E392 is the most popular 4G LTE dongle all over the world, that’s why we choose this modem.

 

 

First step, users must install the software- named Mobile Partner, to PC. For different operators, the version of Mobile partner may vary, but basic functions are the same. If there is already Mobile Partner, it’s better to uninstall it and reinstall the new. Of course, I mean the first time you use the 4G modem.

 

Secondly, after the drivers are installed to PC, it’s time to set up the modem. Sometimes, the mobile partner may cannot detect SIM card or detected the SIM card is invalid, you need to switch out the E392 Modem from the PC and pull SIM card out and Re-plug it. Usually, it’s due the slow reflection from PC. The 4G software is configured with many new technology of data transmission, when it runs, it may cause the PC system run very slowly.

 

 

After the Mobile partner detected Huawei E392 and the SIM. Now click the head column “tools”, there is “Options”, then you can see there are “General”, Text Message, Profile Management and Network.

 

And then in the Profile Management, you need set below information:

 

– Profile Name:  4GLTEMALL (It’s just a name, you could write any name you like, default starts automatically)

– APN: Static check

– APN: @@@ (you need to check the APN of your SIM card provider and then enter the right one)

– Access number: * 99 #

– User name: 4GLTEMALLCOM

– Password: 4GLTEMALLCOM

(User name and password could write anything you can remember)

 

Then set this profile as default and Click “OK”.

Next step, click Tools– Network.

There are 4 options in the dropdown-LTE only, WCDMA only, GSM only and Auto. If you are using 4G SIM card, you can choose “LTE only”, the other 3 options are also usable. But if you are using 3G card, “LTE only” is not workable. Usually, choose “Auto” is good to choose because the modem will switch automatically for users to choose available fastest speed. If the fastest network disconnect, the mobile partner will switch lower lever network and auto connects so that users could keep surfing.

After choose the network, click “apply” and “ok”, then back to home Manu. Click “Connect” button. You can easily get connected with network and access to surf.

 

This setting method is also applicable for HUAWEI 4G LTE USB Modem such as E398, E397 etc…So if you are in trouble using your HUAWEI 4G LTE Dongles, you can follow the steps to get 4G networks connected.

 

 

 

 

 

Real 4G LTE Advanced Technology and the Future

Since November 2008, under the name IMT-Advanced, LTE and WiMAX are the specifications for the fourth generation of mobile. The International Telecommunication Union (International Telecommunication Union, ITU short) set these requirements.

 

Since October 2009, two technology families apply for the title of 4G wireless data technology of the future, according to the International Telecommunication Union. Firstly, there is the advanced technology LTE Advanced, which evolutes from LTE. Second, the applicant is provided with the bulky abbreviation IEEE 802.16m technology, which has evolved from the WiMAX group.

Colloquially LTE or Mobile WiMAX is already now referred to as 4G technologies. In colloquial usage, technical standards, there are 3G systems.

The ITU standards: A gigabit per second is the goal

Some key requirements on wireless technologies of the fourth generation: Higher transmission rates, greater bandwidth, high spectral efficiency and low latency and better coverage of the peripheral areas in the radio cells are crucial criteria.

As research targets for the transmission rate is at 100 megabits per second per the International Telecommunications Union, and gigabit per second high with low mobility. There are also up to 40 megahertz scalable bandwidth for the transmission channel, but the researchers are encouraged to draw bandwidths up to 100 MHz considered. The spectral efficiency is measured by measuring the transmission rate per bandwidth. The ITU for IMT-Advanced set 15 bits per second per hertz (bits/s/Hz) on the downlink and 6.75 bit / s / Hz in the uplink.

As examples of different high top speeds in different widths, radio channels are given by the ITU on a channel of 40 megahertz (MHz) 600 Mbit/s and on a channel of 100 Megahertz 1500 Mbit/s respectively in the downlink.

The 4G LTE-Advanced candidate

The bandwidth is LTE-Advanced is significantly higher than the 3G. Instead of 20 megahertz, LTE-Advanced can bundle multiple carriers and thus use up to 100 MHz simultaneously. It is also possible that frequency bands in different frequency ranges are combined, since no operator has been on a continuous frequency range of 100 MHz Currently these 100 MHz are only theoretically achievable, in practice more spectra has to be assigned. This can happen only in 2015 at the World Radio Conference (WRC). Until then, the bandwidth will probably be limited to 40MHz.

Another innovation that could keep up with LTE-Advanced collection is called “relay nodes”, i.e. relay stations. This will allow, even outside the range of a base station to receive the signal. In the edge region reinforce the signal relay stations. Connected the relay stations are connected to the base station. Thus, the signal strength inside buildings can be improved.

Increase the spectral efficiency

The concept of multiple antennas (MIMO: Multiple Input / Multiple Output) technology, which is already partially used, will also be expanded. Instead of two antennas at the transmitter and receiver (2×2 single-user MIMO) to be introduced up to eight antennas for the downlink (8×8 single-user MIMO). For upload, still four antennas are used. Simultaneously by using multiple antennas, a plurality of data streams on the same frequency is transmitted. This not only increases the spectral efficiency, but also the transmission quality.

When the spectral efficiency of LTE-Advanced will even peak values of up to 30 bits/s/Hz can be achieved in the download as well as 15 bits / s / Hz in the upload. LTE has the merit to 15 bits / s / Hz when receiving and at 3.75 bits / s / Hz when sending data. This shows that, although LTE in terms of spectral efficiency can already meet the requirements of IMT-Advanced, but only in the download. The upload, and in the range, it is far from being a 4G technology.

4G: colloquial and technical language

Although often LTE or Mobile WiMAX called 4G technologies, they are from the standpoint of technical standards only further developments in the field of 3G and provide an intermediate step represents some criteria for IMT-Advanced are indeed fulfilled to some extent, by no means all.

Nevertheless, the marketing departments of international mobile operators call the new LTE technology, which is increasingly used in the United States, even as 4G, to illustrate the difference in the speed of data transmission in comparison to UMTS networks. It is becoming apparent that this usage was soon penetrated. Then LTE or similar technology, such as Mobile WiMAX are commonly referred to as 4G technology, and only in the jargon of technical standards still out as 3G technologies.

Three Huawei B183 Webcube Home Broadband General Review

The UK’s operator Three had recently released two new broadband routers for home, the model numbers are HUAWEI B183 and HUAWEI B153. They are fixed line broadband and is the perfect companion for Students who need a broadband connection in there diggs, and the most important feature is (you don’t need a landline to use it) just plug into your mains and Three will do the rest.

 

Today, let’s have a review what’s the features of the Webcube White HUAWEI B183 home broadband Router and what it can do for us.

Appearance

Webcube HUAWEI B183 is in a very classic design, looks like an hour glass, but has a sudden glance; you may think it’s a humidifier. In simple white, the cube shape is very attractive, different any other home router, which make it looks more like a home white goods, not just a network router.

 

On the top side, there is signal strength indicator, if it’s not working, you may not be able to see it. And with the single strength indicator, you will see the Power and WPS button. And there is logo on this face, sometime it’s “3”. 4GLTEmall.com provider unlocked HUAWEI B183 with HUAWEI logo, no contract and no limit. The top cover could be departed from the below part, at the side of the top cover, there is external antenna port and reset button covered by a slip.

Another side of the top cover, USIM card slot and network indicators are also configured. What’s more, there is USB port around, which is for test purposes only, not for users. So for most of the users who had get it first, they may don’t know how to use, where to plug SIM card, where to power it on. From above image, you will find details part of HUAWEI B183. Now it’s easy to operate to connect network.

HSPA+ Technology

HUAWEI B183 Home Broadband from Three with the latest HSPA+ offering up to 21.1Mbps download and up to 2 -5Mbps uploads, but you can expect to receive download speeds in excess of 10Mbps which without a landline is exceptionally good. This is also an exceptional deal for renters too who only wish to use the internet occasionally or are moderate users, also great for customers in rural areas of the UK where accessing the internet is hard to acquire.

 

 

Entry Level Broadband

The B183 Webcube offers up to 5 different connections at the same time enabling other family members to be online simultaneously, with a good wireless range extended up to 30 meters away from the cube and you still get a perfect signal anywhere around your home.

 

Go Anywhere Broadband

The great thing with the Webcube B183 is how easy it is to carry to a friend’s home and set up in next to no time so you can share a connection with them, when you receive your B183 Webcube from Three you have a (pre-defined SSID and Network Key) that only belongs to you, in the box you will have your password and info to input, then you are able to use your new Webcube for the first time.

 

You may ask there is HUAWEI B153, what is it? Actually, HUAWEI Webcube B153 has almost the same appearance and size of HUAWEI B183. The main difference between HUAWEI B183 and HUAWEI B153 is that B153 supports HSDPA 7.2Mbps while B183 support peak HSPA+ 21Mbps download speed. So if to get better network link, HUAWEI B183 is a good option, but if HSDPA 7.2Mbps can meet your requirement, HUAWEI B153 is a cost budget one for home router.

 

Will you choose HUAWEI E5756 or HUAWEI E5151 for Mobile WiFi?

Around the end of 2012, HUAWEI released two new 3G HSPA+ Mobile WiFi Hotspot, someone may ask, why not 4G LTE HUAWEI E5776 or HUAWEI E589? Yes, the two 4G LTE Pocket WiFi are definitely hot with fast development of 4G networks.

 

Today, we will not talk about the 4G mobile hotspot because for most of users, the 4G Gadgets are in high price range; they cost too much to enjoy something new. Only technology geeks are trying to follow new products. We choose HUAWEI E5756 and HUAWEI E5151 as our today’s topic because there is something special with the two models.

HUAWEI E5756 VS HUAWEI E5151

First, let’s look at HUAWEI E5756 42Mbps Mobile WiFi Hotspot. It’s like its predecessor HUAWEI E587, E586, E560, has the functions as E5, but supports 10 users to share WiFi network. With USB cable, one more device could access internet. And its peak speed reach up to 42Mbps under Dual cell HSPA+ technology. These features looks much like HUAWEI E587 42Mbps Mobile Hotspot, but HUAWEI E5756 have some special features such as it would work as a mobile power bank, which incorporates battery capacity of lasting 10 hours online usage. And it could output power to many devices such as iPhone, iPad, Android tablets or Smart phones. In case, if you are lucky to get HUAWEI E5756, you will get gadget with power bank and 3G WiFi router functions 2 in 1. What amazing!

HUAWEI E5756 Application at a meeting

By the way, we found HUAWEI E5756 could support IPV 6, which are not compatible with by most existed network devices. So with this powerful function and practical application functions, HUAWEI E5756 would be HUAWEI new flagship model in near future.

HUAWEI E5756 Applicaton at airport

Then let’s look at HUAWEI E5151 WAN LAN 3G WiFi Router, it has the basic function as 3G Pocket WiFi to supports 5 users to access internet, keeping working at 4 to 5 hours with changeable battery. Peak download speed via 3G is 21Mbps. The main difference and also its key features is that there is a Ethernet port at the side this device, which means, if you are outdoors, you could take it around to let it work as a portable router; when you back home or in office, it could get connected with the Ethernet cable, then it becomes a stationary router to offer wireless signal.

HUAWEI E5151 is the best partner for businessmen

 

With Ethernet cable, HUAWEI E5151 could support peak download speed at 100Mbps. If you are abroad for business trip, it would be better to take this one, because you don’t need to find the shop to buy SIM card, if there is Ethernet cable for network, your multiple electronics could share network simultaneously.

HUAWEI E5151 Application at a hotel to connect Ethernet cable

They are both in simple design and easy operation, and released for different application, but they are user friendly. Customer could choose the preferred one and enjoy the easy experience of surfing internet. In our opinion, if you have many electronics or gadgets demanding continuous power supply, it’s better to take HUAWEI E5756 Mobile Power Bank Router, but if you are a businessman who usually goes to different countries or areas, it’s better to take HUAWEI E5151 WAN LAN WiFi Router.

Broadband – A European Issue

Fast broadband is digital oxygen, essential for Europe’s prosperity, said Neelie Kroes, European Commissioner for Digital Agenda.

 

It’s already published in a paper by the European Commission. The strategy “Europe 2020 for smart, suitable and inclusive growth” states that broadband infrastructure for growth and jobs in Europe are essential. The digital dividend could be estimated that the European economic are gain an additional market value of 63 to 165 billion Euros.

 

Following the economic and financial crisis, the EU sees the expansion of fast Internet connection is one of the growth areas that will be important for the economic recovery of Europe. The cross-linking of the 27 EU member states has proved itself in the financial crisis. It also shows that no nation-state in Europe deal with problems and challenges alone.

 

Outwardly, the EU is more and more with one device. With the Treaty of Lisbon 2009, there is a European foreign minister who represents the interests of the EU in the world. With this strong external effect to the will of the EU must e accompanied by improved internal coordination.

 

Europe is to Fragmented

 

The temptation to lapse after the crisis in economic nationalism wants to counter the EU to the European growth on its feet by world. But a strong internal market is necessary. It exists at the moments, although legally, but EU companies and workers often reach practical limits it comes to act across national boundaries. While you have to struggle with a fragmented market in Europe, they can be competitors from the USA, and china, which rely on their large domestic markets.

 

The strategy paper of the European commission stresses the willingness of the EU to express to create an open service market. Through the implementation of the EU Services Guidelines, trade in private service could increase by 45% while direct investment increased by 25%, thus leading to a rise in GDP of between 0.5% and 1.5%. It is the strategy “Europe 2020”.

 

 

Smart Growth Thanks to Broadband Technology

 

The three pillars, which should be on the recovery of the European Economic Area, smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, include goals such as climate change and employment. Smart growth is also part of the digital society, which target the EU: initiative” A digital Agenda for Europe”.

 

The above-described internal market should be supported among others by the strong digital networking. For this purpose, the 800 MHz frequency band to be used in all EU countries for the development of mobile broadband connections. By 2013, all Europeans have access to broadband Internet. By 2020, every EU citizen can surf with at least 30Mbit/s. Half of Europeans should be able to go at this time of up to 100Mbit/s online.

 

To avoid interference, it is the will of the EU, the member states in the development closely. The Only way to ensure is that you can surf in Europe limitless. This is an important requirement for online services, which are offered as part of a single European market. To get closer to this goal, the EU aims to create improved conditions. These include the promotion of multi-territorial licenses, adequate protection and fair compensation for rights holders and active support for the digitization of Europe-s rich cultural heritage, as well as refinement of the global governance of the Internet — the strategy “Europe 2020”. Specially, the European investment Bank (EIB) increase loans, which it presents annually for the development of broadband available. Currently, there are two billion euros annually.
