Huawei E398S-81 4G LTE FDD TDD USB Surfstick Review

Comparing with Huawei E398 other branch models, such as Huawei E398u-1, E398u-18 and E398u-15, Huawei E398s-81 should be a special one, it’s not because Huawei E398s-81 has different appearance as other models, it’s due to Huawei E398s-81 supports the TDD & FDD LTE band simultaneously, which covers the 4G LTE TDD 2300/2600MHz and FDD 2600MHz.

 

 

As the one of the most frequency bands for TDD, band 38 (2600MHz) and band 40 (2300Mhz) are invested by many operators who are planning or already launched TDD networks.

 

 

Today, we get the Huawei E398s-81 4G LTE TDD FDD Surf stick with HUAWEI logo on it. It seems that it’s SIM card free and unlocked to any operators. Usually, if there is an operator’s logo on HUAWEI E398 modem, it may be a locked one, but the modem could be unlocked by some methods.

 

From the appearance, we could see that HUAWEI E398s-81 is just like other E398 branch models, with the rotatable USB design. There is only HUAWEI 4G on the USB. No other logo was printed on the back.

 

 

As previously mentioned, Huawei E398s-81 could support the LTE bands/Spectrum above: 4G LTE FDD 2600MHz and TDD 2300/2600MHz. This should be the most important difference between HUAWEI E398u-1, E398u-15 and E398u-18.

 

 

With same appearance of E398u-11 and E398u-15, Huawei E398s-81 has two external antenna connectors beside the two sides of Micro SD slot. If user wants to use data card with MIMO technology, HUAWEI E398s-81 is a good option optional. Here now, only few models of 4G LTE USB Surfstick are available on the market for both TDD and FDD networks. HUAWEI E398s-81 should be a good one based on HUAWEI prestige.

 

 

Unlike other E398 Modems, Huawei E398s-81 could not work with 3G UMTS network or 2G GSM/GPRS network. So Huawei E398S-81 could only work on 4G LTE networks. If 4G networks are not available in certain place, HUAWEI E398s-81 can’t work. So users may consider this before they buy it.

 

 

 

As the brother model, Huawei E392 4G FDD TDD multi-mode data card also has one similar model, the model number is Huawei E392u-92. HUAWEI E392u-92 supports 4G TDD 2300/2600 Mhz, but HUAWEI E392u-92 can’t support 4G FDD networks.

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.

What’s the difference between ZTE MF880 and ZTE MF820S2?

As one of the 4G LTE modems from ZTE, the TDD modem ZTE MF820s2 may not be well known because it’s born for China Mobile 4G LTE networks. ZTE MF820s2 looks very similar to ZTE MF820, they are using the same appearance module, but inner parts are completely different. ZTE MF820 is for FDD network while MF820s2 works for TDD & FDD.

 

 

There is another 4G TD-LTE modem ZTE MF880, which is also FDD compatible. Today, we will have a look at what’s the difference between ZTE MF820s2 and MF880.

 

 

Frequency Bands

 

 

Frequency band should be the key difference between similar 4G modems, even though some modems looks almost the same. The frequency band decides where could work or not, and which operators they could support. ZTE MF820s2 supports FDD 2600MHZ and TDD 1900/2300/2600MHz. The band 1900MHz is a special band that very operator has chose as their 4G network spectrum. So many other 4G modems could replace ZTE MF820s2 if the band 1900MHz is not a must frequency. ZTE MF880 could also support TDD 2300/2600 MHz, but it cannot work with band 1900MHz. As a TDD and FDD surfstick, ZTE MF880 also supports FDD800/2600MHz. So when users don’t require modem to support 1900Mhz, ZTE MF880 could fully replace MF820s2.

 

 

4G LTE Speed

 

 

As standard 4G USB modems, ZTE MF880 and MF820s2 both supports the TDD and FDD network. However, under the two technologies, the data transmission rates are different. When working on FDD network, the peak download speed could reach 100Mbps while upload speed up to 50Mbps. But if on TDD networks, maximum download speed could reach 68Mbps and upload speed could reach 17Mbps. By the way, the speeds are only theoretical speeds. In real practice, the network can’t be perfect as we wish; the link speeds may vary time to time.

 

 

 

External Antenna and MicroSD card

 

It’s a pity that both ZTE MF880 and MF820s2 both don’s have connector for external antenna. And we didn’t find any place to plug the MicroSD card. So they couldn’t use as flash memory card.

 

 

 

USB Design

 

ZTE MF880 and MF820 are both under design of 2D USB design. The USB is rotatable for 270 degrees. This design will help users to use more space when plug to PC.

 

 

We can’t make conclusion that which is better. They are in same brand and could meet different requirements from users or operators. So it would be better to know more about the difference between similar models. If you want to check more 4G LTE modems, welcome to land www.4gltemall.com

 

Vodafone 3G 4G Mobile WiFi – R201, R205, R210

Many customers know there are various USB Surf sticks available for Vodafone 3G or 4G networks, but few know the mobile WiFi hotspot for Vodafone. Today, we will have a review of Vodafone Pocket WiFi for 3G & 4G networks.

 

 

The early model of Vodafone mobile WiFi is Vodafone R201. It’s the first generation for Vodafone and also the first generation of Huawei mobile WiFi. This model is produced by Huawei, follow R201, Huawei presents many new versions to publicly and gained gear success. Vodafone R201 supports HSDPA 7.2Mbps, it could transfer SIM signal to WiFi signal and up to 5 users could access internet via R201. At that time, the download speed 7.2Mbps is good enough for most activities, but with the network development and many applications for data transmission, this speed can’t meet the requirement for surfing. Then newer version comes out.

 

 

Vodafone R205 is the newer model supporting HSPA+ technology. The HSPA+ apply the MIMO technology for data transfer. So it would obviously improve the link speed. Vodafone R205 could support peak link speed up to 21Mbps and 5.76Mbps. It comes from the factory model Huawei E586 mobile WiFi. Similar to R201, it would support 5 users to share the WiFi network. As we can see, the improvement of the new generation mobile WiFi is on the supporting speed.

 

 

However, People demand for speed is not limited to 21 Mbps. Higher connection speed are required in many areas. Then 4G technology is decoupled and the mobile terminals are following. Vodafone is always leading the industry trend.

 

 

Here now Vodafone R210 4G LTE mobile WiFi is available. Under good 4G LTE network, the R210 supports up to 100Mbps. It’s really amazing, if you download a movie in big size, it would take for only few seconds. And this speed makes it true to play many online games.

 

With more power capacity, Vodafone R210 could work for longer time than its predecessors. What’s more, more users (up to 10 WiFi enabled devices) could get connected with the mobile WiFi and surf. The pocket WiFi could only work on 4G LTE network, but also back ward 3G UMTS/WCDMA & 2G GSM/GPRS/ EDGE. Where 4G network is not available, Vodafone R210 would auto choose the alternative good network available to keep user connected with network. With higher specification, there is no doubt that the price of Vodafone R210 is a little bit higher than the previous R201 and R205.

 

 

Considering the performance of the three mobile WiFi for Vodafone and budget, you can choose the right model to keep connected with the best networks.
