LTE Cat 6 with 300 MBit/s Available on Telekom from summer

The German Telekom plans the introduction of LTE-Advanced (category 6) at speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s from the summer of 2014. This information was announced at CeBIT, held in Hannover since Monday. The increased bandwidth would be realized mainly in cities and in places with high traffic. Technically, it is LTE Category 6, Telekom combined the frequency bands around 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz (carrier aggregation).

Telekom uses three frequency bands for LTE


The German Telekom has its LTE network currently being expanded to three frequency ranges. In the country, LTE800 was used in the frequency range around 800 MHz, the Telekom stand for 10 MHz bandwidth. The maximum speed is here around 70 MBit/s in downlink, in reality about 50-55 Mbit/s can be achieved.
On the other hand, in cities, small towns and larger villages expanded to LTE1800, here a 20 MHz wide spectrum is available, i.e. the maximum speed with LTE Category 4 is about 150 Mbit/s. The LTE1800 network is thus significantly more powerful than the LTE800 network. However, it also has a shorter range and this is even very useful in the city, then radio cells are not overloaded so big and so quickly.
Telekom also uses the frequency range around 2600 MHz. LTE2600 is mainly developed in the places where many people gather, such as airports, train stations or city centers. For example, in the subway at the Nuremberg or main station in Friedrichshafen. Also on LTE2600 up to 150 MBit/s are currently achievable in downlink, because there is a 20 MHz wide range available.

300 MBit/s with carrier aggregation
To achieve maximum downlink rate of 300 Mbit/s, two frequency bands of 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz, are combined and concentrated in the terminal to a 40 MHz wide channel. This is called carrier aggregation to German carrier bundling. Carrier aggregation is a part of LTE-Advanced and 300 Mbit/s is called LTE Category 6. Today’s devices can usually support only LTE Category 3 or Category 4, so for the new speeds in each case, new devices will be necessary to support the Carrier aggregation or Cat 6. The Huawei E5786 is a first LTE mobile hotspot presented for Cat 6, we had introduced this hotspot here.

The Huawei E5786 Hotspot is the first terminal for 300 Mbit/s LTE

The speed of 300 Mbit/s will be available according to Telekom from summer; exact details are not yet streamlined. But it is certain that the particular location must be supplied in any case simultaneously with LTE1800 and LTE2600.  Of course, Carrier Aggregation with LTE1800 and LTE800 would be possible, here are then up to 225 Mbit/s can be achieved, provided that both bands can be received.

 

Huawei B880 4G LTE Router at A1 Austria

Followed Huawei E5170 Speedbox, a new LTE Router Huawei B880 offered by A1 Austria and is available now. Huawei B880 is a LTE Category 4 WiFi Router and support maximum of 150 Mbit/s downlink and 50 Mbit/s in the uplink. A1 offers these speeds currently in major cities. The router is technically quite similar to the Huawei B593s-22, which does not have a LAN connection and it’s regarded as a older version. The biggest criticism of Huawei B593 also unfortunately exists in Huawei B880: either the LAN terminal or the wireless module will be capable of the full speed of 150 Mbit/s when transfer to a terminal. So Huawei continues only on Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and the LAN port can operate with a maximum of 100 Mbit/s.

 

Ports and Wireless Technology
On the back of the Huawei B880, we can found there is a RJ11 telephone connector next to the LAN port, so you can use the B880 as a full telephone system. Furthermore, a WAN connection is available; here you can connect the router as needed without mobile to the internet. A USB port also allows the use of a printer or USB storage device on the network. Like many other routers, the Huawei B880 has two SMA connectors for external antennas. The 4G External antenna for Huawei B880 is available on 4GLTEMall.com , and there are 35 dBi, which will help users get much better signal strength and network connection.

The chipset is manufactured by Huawei and belongs to subsidiary HiSilicon series. This chipset can be found in various modems, such as the Huawei B593u-12 (Telekom Speedbox LTE II ). By supporting LTE Category 4, and associated downlink speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s, Huawei B880 could be a top 4G wireless router now. Faster devices are expected until the second half of 2014. In addition to LTE, GSM and UMTS network modes are aslo supported, in the UMTS network via DC-HSPA+, the peak link speed could reach up to 42.2 Mbit/s.

Here now there is unlocked Huawei B880 for sale at 4gltemall.com and if you want the 4G Antenna for Huawei B880, it’s also available. The Unlocked Huawei B880 would work with all the 4G operators in Europe, and most operators in Asia.

Telekom Speed Stick LTE IV Comes From Alcatel W800

The Germany operator Telekom offers a new LTE surf stick- Speed Stick LTE IV from November of 2013. Since in May, a high-end model Speed Stick LTE III was introduced by Huawei, then the new model Speed Stick LTE IV comes from TCT Mobile (Alcatel), which is the same manufacturer as the Speed Stick II LTE. The special feature: a built-in Wi-Fi module will support up to 10 other devices to access internet wirelessly with an Internet connection.

Alcatel W800 LTE WiFi Dongle


The Telekom Speed Stick LTE IV is based on the Alcatel W800, which we have recently been introduced. The chipset is a Qualcomm MDM9215 modem, which supports DC-HSPA+ and GSM/EDGE/UMTS is also backward. As a LTE category 3 WiFi dongle, Telekom Speed stick LTE IV supports up to 100 Mbit/s downstream and 50 Mbit/s for upload. The working LTE frequency bands at 800, 1800 or 2600 megahertz according to their location used.
The full LTE speed cannot be reached, in real network environment, the WLAN module can only reaches around 75 MBit/s for downlink, and uplink for wireless connection probably no more than about 30 Mbit/s are available.

Apart from the slot for standard mini-SIM cards, the manufacturer TCT Mobile has also integrates a slot for MicroSD cards supporting up to 32 GB storage. No connectors for an external antenna are available in this dongle. With about 39 grams, Telekom Speed Stick LTE IV is quite easy to take in hand or pocket, the dimensions of 89.0 x 27.5 x 14.0 mm are similar to those of other LTE surf sticks.

 

Speed Stick LTE models at a glance


The Speed Stick LTE IV is now already the fourth LTE Surfstick available at Germany Telekom, and we have summarized the models in a small table below:

Model Manufacturer & Model LTE Category Speed
Speed Stick LTE Huawei E398 Category 3 100 Mbit/s
Speed Stick II LTE Alcatel L100V Category 3 100 Mbit/s
Speed Stick LTE III Huawei E3276 Category 4 150 Mbit/s
Speed Stick LTE IV Alcatel W800 Category 3 100 Mbit/s

 

The Telekom Speed Stick LTE first generation is only sporadically available through online shops, Telekom no longer sells this device now. As we can see in the table, the name does not necessarily correspond to the quality and the speed of the modem. Thus, the current top model is clearly the Speed Stick LTE III (Huawei E3276) in the 4 models; many users would even classify the first Speed Stick LTE (Huawei E398) best model than the previous, since the reception is very good. Even with the equipment, there are some major differences Between Alcatel and Huawei Speed Stick models, for example, connections for an external antenna, which is not available in Alcatel Sticks.

 

Global chip giant fighting Chinese 4G LTE market in MWC

2014 Mobile World Congress (Mobile World Congress, hereinafter referred to as the MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, the world’s leading mobile products manufacturers have come up with special skill. However, in addition to increasing media exposure outside of their major technology, mobile chip giant also did not forget to take the opportunity to compete for Chinese 4G mobile network market.

Because including China Mobile, the Chinese mobile operators are racing to upgrade to 4G LTE mobile network. The smart phones main component manufacturers Qualcomm, Intel, MediaTek, Marvell and Broadcom, compete for the world’s largest mobile market on the occasion of MWC.

 

Chinese mobile operator’s evolution of LTE technology allows Intel and other chip makers saw a great opportunity to push top LTE chip maker Qualcomm off the altar. The MWC Conference will undoubtedly become a crucial battleground. There are 70 Chinese companies exhibiting MWC Assembly last year, and this year the figure further increased to 99. Therefore, MWC Assembly provides the perfect stage for the global mobile chip manufacturers to showcase their best products.

Intel and Qualcomm chip manufacturers will show the first new microchip-based LTE technology products in Barcelona, many of these chip consumes less power, but the price is also lower than the previous cutting-edge products. This makes them ideal chip products for low-end smartphones in China and other emerging markets.

 

Qualcomm even designed for MWC Assembly developed a Chinese version of the smart phone applications, and posted in the booth scene identification with Chinese translation. Cristiano, executive vice president of Qualcomm • Amon (Cristiano Amon) said: “We will show a lot of products designed to attract Chinese enterprises and products on LTE technology Qualcomm LTE technology and aware of emerging market consumers migrate to smart phones. the hidden huge opportunity. ”

LTE chip demand surge

With the advantage of early technology, Qualcomm has been the main producer for LTE smartphone chip market in the past four years. And more and more countries have begun to adopt LTE network technology which also enables LTE chip demand surge.

MediaTek chief marketing officer Johan Lodenius, said: “Qualcomm is very good at developing LTE technology chips, however, almost all of the world’s mobile operators are looking for an alternative vendor of LTE chips in our favor. They don’t want to outsource to individual Qualcomm. ”

 

Intel, MediaTek, Broadcom and Qualcomm’s other competitors are invariably hyping their new exhibition site in MWC Barcelona, LTE chip products coming soon, however, very few of which can be launched in a variety of smart phones applications this week.

Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, chip maker Marvell has achieved some success; it has been applied in LTE accessories designed for the Chinese market on the development of several upcoming low-power smart phones.

Adjustment chip strategy

On Monday, Intel announced a new LTE chip, and is working with major mobile operators to start testing the chip. Intel marketing director Julie • Corpus Noel said the new LTE chip will be allocated to in the production of mobile phones in late 2014. She said: “LTE chip on the market on how to apply to the overwhelming rumors on the phone and we’ve effectively launched its own chips for our products that we have made significant improvements …”

Like other chip makers, Intel has also restructured the chip strategy, started paying more for the price below $ 300 smart phone product development, while reducing the degree of concern for the high-end smart phone accessories.

According to the UK technology market research, firm ARM Holdings published statistics show that as of 2018, the global high-end smart phone shipments are expected the annual growth rate of just under 4%; while mid-range and entry-level smartphone shipments are expected to annual growth rate were as high as 14% and 17%.

Qualcomm announced the launch of two mobile chips using LTE technology this week, and consumer markets target at China. A Qualcomm spokeswoman said, the world’s leading mobile phone manufacturers will launch 10 or more devices with Qualcomm’s new chip.

Even Microsoft is also expanding its influence in the Chinese mobile phone market. Microsoft announced the launch of new reference design projects, designed to facilitate the rapid introduction of mobile phone manufacturers using Qualcomm chips Windows smartphones.

Huawei E8278 E8278S-602 Open Box and Review

Today, we get the 4G LTE Cat4 Wi-Fi dongle Huawei E8278. Since the release day, it has been for a whole year that we get it. The model we get is Huawei E8278s-602, which is for Australia operator Telstra.

 

 

Packed in customized box from Telstra, Huawei E8278 is in the center box with a power adapter. There is a USB port in the adaper, which can help Huawei E8278 to get power supply directly, not from desktop or laptop. The USB is rotatable for 180 degree and hidden in the body of the modem.

 

 

 

As we introduced before, Huawei E8278 looks like a 4G USB Modem, but actually it is a WiFi hotspot through which multiple terminals can access internet in high speed. E8278 is a LTE category 4 UE, which mean the maximum downlink speed could reach 150mbps. The official saying about Huawei E8278s-602 is that it could support 4G LTE FDD 800/900/1800/2600MHz & TDD 2600MHz. And the 3G DC-HSPA+ network support is backward. E8278 supports 3G UMTS Band 850/900/1900/2100MHz. The Huawei E8278 we get is SIM card unlocked. So if you get an unlocked E8278, you can take it around the world for travel. The Huawei E8278 would work with most operators over the world. Even on 3G network, the maximum download speed could reach amazing 42Mbps.

 

 

On the body side, there are two external antenna connectors for external high gain antennas. One connector is with the MircoSD card slot. They are covered by a plastic cap. There is Signal slogan on the cap. The external antenna connector socket is TS-9. User can also get the 4G Antenna from 4gltemall.com . The Huawei E8278 4G Antenna has two connectors (TS-9 jack) and covers almost all the 4G Frequency bands. The antenna is small and easy to take in bag, just like Huawei e8278. Users don’t need to worry about the week network coverage if far from the center city.

 

 

What’s more, the Huawei E8278 can support up to 10 WiFi users to share the wireless network and access internet simultaneously. With the ability of high speed data transmission, you don’t need worry about the slow speed when sharing the WiFi. It’s a pity that there is no battery included, otherwise, it would be a mobile pocket router. But Huawei E8278 is still a good mobile WiFi dongle worthy to have as a WiFi hotspot when there is power supply.

 

 

Difference Between Huawei E2130 and E2131

Huawei E2130 and E2131 are the world’s first 3G SD modems, which was released at CES 2014. They have the main function to memorize data as datacard, one special feature is added by Huawei. They also have the SIM card slot for wireless connection. The NANO SIM card could be inserted into the datacard and after plug the card to PC or tablets, the PC or tablets could access internet through the 3G SIM card based on the SD card.

Here now Huawei E2130 and E2131 could maximum download speed up to 21Mbps, which is enough for most applications. But since the Data card is already in small size, so nano sim card could be used to save more space.

Huawei E2130 and E2131 are both in SD card size, but Huawei E2131 is larger in size to 37 mm length, while E2130 is 32mm. This is the first difference. The second difference is that the network frequency bands. Huawei E2130 supports 3G single band 2100MHz. It seems to be a common version. Huawei E2131 seems to meet different areas because it support dual-bands, and it has many band combinations, such as 900/2100MHz, 850/2100mhz, 850/1900MHz and 900/1900MHz.

 

The third difference is on the power consumption, which is also a big concern for users. Huawei E2130 normally consumes power ~300mA/3.3V @0dm, and maximum 500mA/3.3@ 22dBM. With larger size, Huawei E2131 normally consumes ~300mA/3.3V @0dm while maximum 630mA/3.3@ 22Dbm.

 

Below are the specification details and difference for reference:

3WebCube 3 Comes With LTE

The 3 webCube 3 is now the third edition of the popular router offered by Hutchison 3 in Austria. So far, according to the operator 3, over 120,000 webCube have already been sold. The special features are the compact dimensions and good design compared to other router models. It looks like the previous model Huawei B153 and B183, also named 3 Webcube White. The 3WebCube 3 is the first LTE Webcube model produced by the top manufacturer Huawei,  the webcube 3 could support GSM and UMTS as well as DC-HSPA+, and thus can reach speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s on LTE networks.

 

Up to 16 wireless devices
Like previous models, the design of 3WebCube plays a major role as the appliance consists of two parts, which can be illuminated in a blue tone. Unlike many mobile LTE router, the terminals can be connected to the modem at the same time via Wi-Fi, not limited to 10, but at least 16 units. So the connected users should be enough for a meeting with many participants capacity to be present. The gross speed is up to 300 Mbit/s over WLAN 802.11 b/g/n.

LTE and DC-HSPA+
The 3WebCube 3 supports the latest mobile technology LTE and operates in the frequency bands at 800, 1800 and 2600 megahertz. Webcube 3 can accommodate up to 100 Mbit/s for downlink and 50 Mbit/s for uplink. In the UMTS network, which is still significantly better developed in Austria as LTE, speeds of up to 42.2 Mbit/s can be achieved via DC-HSPA+ downlink.

Now available
The 3 webCube 3 will soon be available on www.4gltemall.com . If you decide, you get the router unlocked and uncontracted. And the unrestricted flat rate for GSM/UMTS/LTE with up to 100 MBit/s fordownload.

 

Vodafone K4606 3G 42Mbps USB Surfstick Available

A new modem Vodafone K4606 is now available on offer. The surf stick is the direct successor of the Vodafone K4605 and offers similar technical specifications. So you can use the DC-HSPA+ technology in the UMTS network, which enables speeds of up to 42.2 megabits per second for the downlink and 5.76 Mbit/s for the uplink. LTE is not supported. On this specifications, k4606 is very similar to Huawei E372 3G Stick. The manufacturer Huawei offers two colors for Vodafone K4606 stick, in black or white. So sometimes, people call it Huawei K4606.

 

High-quality UMTS Surf Stick
Even if LTE surf sticks are available in the market for 3 years, pure UMTS surf stick well have still be justified: they are often cheaper and offer many users a sufficient functionality. The Vodafone K4606 closes the gap between the extremely cheap, easy UMTS sticks and expensive LTE sticks. It offers up to all LTE functions, even high-end surfsticks bring that: an interface for an external antenna, built like a manhole for MicroSD memory cards.

 

HiSilion Chipset
The manufacturer Huawei uses its own developed chipsets at this time, and a chipset subsidiary HiSilicon is employed in Vodafone K4606. The “Balong 520” called modem chipset, besides EDGE (up to 296 kilobits per second in the downlink) and UMTS, including DC-HSPA+ (category 24). The supported frequency bands are in the range to 850/900/2100 MHz for UMTS and GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz. With dimensions of 72.5 x 26 x 11 millimeters and a weight of around 30 grams, the UMTS stick is very compact, but also has a small disadvantage: the USB port is not rotatable, so the modem a few centimeters from the USB port of the notebook stands out.

From the appearance, Vodafone K4606 is similar to Huawei E3251, but we are not sure whether K4606 comes from the E3251. But their similar specifications make them to replace each other.

The Vodafone K4606 is available on www.4gltemall.com unsubsidized. The SIM lock does not exist, so the surf stick can be used with any SIM card. The software is of course pre-configured for use with Vodafone cards.
