With LTE—Playing Games in the cloud

One possible application for the mobile LTE technology is playing in the cloud. One must install or download the appropriate games; just the inputs are transmitted by radio.

Is LTE cloud gaming ready?

For the user, it has several advantages: as with other cloud offerings from the software domain (Saas – Software as a Service), the users don’t need upload data to the computer – no long installation time and space problems. If you want to start a game, you click on it just so perfect for vacations. Furthermore, users could elaborate new games and don’t need to upgraded the gamer on PC. They could just do it on the cloud server.

LTE makes cloud gaming mobile

In conjunction with the LTE Mobile Technology, this idea can now think ahead for mobile. Namely, cloud gaming don’t have great demands on the terminal – to play on smartphones and tablets is therefore technically possible. But the internet connection is the main problem now. With wireless LTE gadgets, to keep it in stable connection, it’s still a trouble.

TO transfer the input is not a problem because here are a few data sent. Consuming is the stream of the game itself, because even though no program data is transmitted, a video stream is always a data-intensive business. With data rates in UMTS networks, the sink in some cased significantly less than 1 Mbit/s, it may skip. Most will satisfy even short interruptions to hinder the fun. LTE offers higher data rates, which promised more stability on the one hand and on the other hand, LTE also allows streams of higher quality in HD or 3D.

Another problem is that the cloud gaming previously tied to fixed lines, is now changing to wireless. The delay between the input and a visible reaction is critical for game playing and experience. If I press a button and the character sets on my screen at the command after a half-second, no fun and does in gmaes that focus on responsiveness, certain defeat. UMTS had adapted a latency of 300 to 500 milliseconds, for gaming on the cloud so little. LTE can only come close here to landlines, as well as LTE are the 20 TO MILLISECONDS. Such delays are hardly noticeable and allow a smooth gaming experience.

Ubitus and telecoms work

Connect to LTE and cloud gaming, that was the objective set as the cloud provider Ubitus. Together with the telecom vendors exhibited at IFA 2011, a cloud gaming service that is designed for LTE users:

“As LTE become the leading, next generation mobile communications technology, we have at Ubitus worked hard extensive provide multimedia and gaming content on LTE networks.” Said Wesley kuo, CEO of Ubitus. The Games are controllable in the browser, so no installation of a particular program is nesscessary.

LTE in 2013: The Top 5 predictions

While it first appeared as a live commercial network technology at the tail end of 2009, it really wasn’t until 2011 that LTE could really be called a mainstream technology. It really hit the ground in 2012 but as it stands it is only really widely deployed in North America, South Korea and Japan. In 2013 however, we expect it to truly become mainstream proposition in many countries around the world, particularly in Europe.

Here then are our Top 5 predictions for LTE in 2013.

1. LTE handsets:

With more LTE networks will inevitably come more LTE handsets. It’s fairly sound logic, but the analyst figures are there to back that up. According to Boston’s Strategy Analytics global sales of LTE smartphones will triple to 275 million handsets in 2013, up from 90 million sold in 2012. It might just be numbers but in many ways it’s quite exciting. With LTE networks and LTE handsets in people’s hands the rise of cloud services can really start to accelerate and encourage innovation as companies begin to compete for dominance in this rising space.

2. Emergence of LTE in Africa:

One of most interesting areas for LTE in 2013 will be the emergence of the standard in Africa. That’s not to say it will hit the mainstream – anything but, but the technology will start to impact the continent. Vodacom is currently the only live service has launched in South Africa, with 70 active base stations at launch, while MTN is readying a limited launch service in Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg, while Cell C has been making plans to. There are concerns such as high CAPEX costs, a lack of devices and a lack of spectrum to contend with. Nevertheless Informa Telecoms & Media is predicting 350,000 LTE subscriptions in Africa by the end of 2012. These issues and more, will be address at the LTE Africa conference, taking place on the 16^th-17^th July 2013 in Cape Town, South Africa.

3. TD-LTE: Big in China

China was well known for furrowing its own path for 3G, using the TD-SCDMA standard so it would not have to be beholden to western technology standards. It’s sticking with TD for 4G, but crucially it looks as though this Time Division thing is going to be pretty popular worldwide. Sprint in the US is using it, as it P1 is Malaysia and of course as the world’s largest operator in terms of subscribers, anything the China Mobile uses it going to have a huge impact of economies of scale. With well over a 100 TD-LTE at the moment 2013 could be a breakthrough year for TD-LTE.

4. VoLTE: Only fools rush in

Using Circuit switched Fallback for voice calls when you have an LTE network is horrible from a technical purist viewpoint, but with no negative customer feedback operators are not going to hurry to introduce new technology. Just ask Verizon Wireless and EE, who have already announced that they are pushing out their timelines for the commercial deployment of VoLTE. SK Telecom and Metro PCS may have deployed but we don’t see many joining them in 2013. To quote Mark Newman, Chief Research Officer at Informa Telecoms & Media, “A business case that looks to be based solely on spectrum efficiency will struggle to gain enough executive support to justify a rushed investment plan”.

5. LTE Small-Cell Backhaul:

Some comment from wireless infrastructure vendor Ruckus Wireless summed this up well with the following comment:

The launch of commercial 4G services from EE in October saw the UK join the LTE race. In order to achieve the network capacity required by increasing mobile data traffic, it will be necessary to augment these LTE macrocell build-outs with an underlay of small cells. This represents a new, and very significant, backhaul challenge because the mounting locations for these small cells (typically street lamps and traffic signals) are not a natural fit for fibre or microwave backhaul solutions. The optimum solution to this challenge is to use Wi-Fi in the 5GHz band to backhaul this traffic to a place where Ethernet is available. We will see lots of activity here as small cells are integrated in Wi-Fi APs, so that one unit can provide both small cells access and Wi-Fi backhaul.

ZTE MF28D 4G LTE CPE WiFi Router Review

2012 is definitely a year for 4G. From this year, 4G is becoming hot day after day. More and more operators plan to deploy 4G networks, or trial, or launch to commerce. It’s no doubt 4G market is large, and vendors all over the world try their best to gain more occupation.

ZTE MF28D 4G LTE CPE WiFi Router

Based on big volume investment of R&D, it’s no doubt that HUAWEI is now one of the most important leaders in 4G technology. Today we are not talking about HUAWEI, we are talk about ZTE. Since HUAWEI released HUAWEI B593 4G LTE CPE, ZTE, the second vendor in China, follows the steps of HUAWEI and launched its own brand 4G LTE CPE WiFi Router ZTE MF28D, so that to share more markets.

ZTE MF28D VS HUAWEI B593 4G LTE CPE WIFI ROUTER

ZTE MF28D is one of the latest 4G LTE CPE Router and which supports 100Mbps download speed and 50Mbps upload speed. Unlike ZTE MF91 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot, ZTE MF28D 4G Router is not portable in pocket, it need outside power supply and then work. It’s mainly for SOHO and office use, but if for small scale industrial use, it’s also workable. With square-shape design, it’s just like a mirror to show the network status from the LED indicators on the surface. But it doesn’t look very large from appearance.

The dimension is 202 × 160 × 30.5 mm. With a SIM card slot in and 4 RJ45 Ethernet ports, it could transfer 4G signal to WiFi and PC could also get connected via Ethernet cable. Since unlocked ZTE MF28D 4G router can offer 100Mbps high speed, this means ZTE MF28D can do a lot of complicated activities such as watch movie, play game online , read E-book, transmit files, etc. Users could use tablet, game console or smartphone to access internet via this wireless network. There is one VoIP telephone slot for USB, so it could also dial up and work as a telephone.

Mobile operator competition is becoming more terribly. Recently, we also observed a significant increase in the popularity of all kinds of mobile devices, so that we can have access to the Internet by ZTE MF28D 4G router,

And ZTE MF28D 4G Wireless Router could support most of the current operation systems, Windows, Mac, Linux. You may ask which one is better, comparing HUAWEI B593 and ZTE MF28D, frankly speaking, ZTE MF28D is a budget one if you think too much about HUAWEI price for HUAWEI B593.

LTE Tips for Beginners

LTE is a new technology that allows you to enjoy very high speed of sending and receiving data wirelessly. To receive LTE via a laptop, a tablet or PC at home, you need a separate receiver, called a radio modem.

This can be a LTE surf stick, a LTE Router or be a different modem. In some tablets, LTE Modems are already built into the units. In most of countries, including Germany, Austria, Sweden and Norway, LTE is not yet used for phone calls, but only for a fast Internet connection. Telephoning with LTE is technically possible now. It will work as telephone calls over the internet, in technical English Voice over IP or VoIP for short call.

LTE Brings Benefits to You

First, if you live in the countryside and currently do not have fast internet connection via a cable—television cable or DSL, then LTE are the best solution for you. However, the price-performance ratio is not as good as a DSL connection. On the other hand, if you live really far out, then to rent will cost very likely much less.

If you live in a big city and you regularly need large amounts of data of both send and receive, then LTE is a good idea. In comparison with current DSL connection, the LTE speed is the the fastest mobile technology available and much faster than DSL. If you ever, for example, as a press photographer sent photos, which can need a such connection.

Finally, due to low response time of the network, colloquially called ping, LTE is a good solution for some special functions: video telephony or online games work with this data radio technology very well.

Purchase of LTE-Enabled Devices

Currently, the LTE tariffs are offered with devices that LTE Mobile operators selling bundled with the tariff for almost all the network providers. 4GLTEMall.com provides unlocked LTE-enabled gadgets to help users freely choose the operators they want and no contract, no tariff.

If you don’t know how to choose, you can check our previous blog how to choose a 4G LTE USB Modem.

LTE Reception-Need Two MIMO antennas

For LTE, the data come from the air via radio. This is good if you sit in the park in the summer and with a laptop surfing. But the new redio technology subject to the laws of physicas.

The reception inside building tends to be worse than the outdoor reception. This is shown by a glance at the map of Vodafone for LTE availability. There is difference between areas where you can go with LTE inside buildings to the Internet (indoor) and areas where there is only outside of buildings receiving a sufficiently strong there (outdoor).

We give you a few tips on how to speed up your wireless data, no matter if you live in an area where Vodafone is available indoors or in some place where LTE is available out.

LTE inside buildings

Even those who LTE users within buildings, can do one or the other in order to improve the reception. Walls can generally weaken the reception of mobile signals, particularly buildings that has been processed in some way reinforced concrete, here are real killjoys.

Simply, the receiving device in a window on, preferably at a window, which lie in the direction of the nearest transmission LTE tower where in your area mobile phone masts are, you can see it. You can also ask your LTE vendors are radioed from which transmission tower from you.

LTE outside buildings

Is there only LTE outside of buildings, you do not surf, shivering in long winter nights in snow and ice: here to help you perhaps an outdoor antenna. Such antennas are in free trade to buy, offer as a complete solution with everything you need to connect. Thus it comes to be a double antenna cables and connectors. If you a great handy man, who always puts together everything yourself. For LTE, you need a pair of antennas or a dual-antenna for wireless technology, they sends and receives simultaneously.

Test Report on HUAWEI E392 Multimode 4G LTE USB modem

Previously, LTE sticks always available with branding and software of the large mobile operators Vodafone, O2 and Telekom. These sticks are printed externally with a logo of the network operator and the preinstalled software can often allow only certain SIM cards into the slot. Nowadays, Huawei E392 4G LTE Surf stick on the market can easily be used with any carrier and not tailored to a particular provider.

HUAWEI E392 4G LTE Multi-mode Data Card

The First Impression

The scope of delivery is only a small strap and some instructions. The wrist strap is also attached to the stick and on the cover for the USB port, thus preventing that the cover is lost. Overall looking, the Huawei E392 4G LTE Modem has quite large and bulky for a surf stick, which is certainly the fact that the USB port is not rotatable.

The Huawei E392 can be run on both Windows and Mac OS X. After you have inserted the SIM card and the flash drive connected to the computer, the connection software to install. Installation takes usually only a few minutes, then the LTE stick can be used immediately. If the PIN protection is enabled SIM card, you will be prompted to enter the PIN. Other settings do not normally need to be made, the connection software detects the inserted SIM card and automatically configures the matching connection parameters. If there are two different APNs with a provider, you can select them before joining in a dropdown menu. By clicking on the “Connect” the Internet connection is established – the Huawei E392 will select the fastest available network.

Under the LTE network, HUAWEI E392 could reach speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s download and the upload speed up to 50 MBit/s. Huawei E392 is not only suitable for all German LTE networks, but also in other countries, such as in Scandinavia and in Australia. When the stick is used in the UMTS network, based DC-HSPA + the speed could reach up to 43.2 Mbit/s- provided at the current location, this speed is also supported. In my test, I was able to achieve in the download about 52 Mbit/s in the Vodafone LTE network in the UMTS network of Telekom there were at least another 30 Mbit/s The high data rates are not only marketing, but with matching fare quite well in practice achievable.

The reception of the Huawei E392 is not quite as good as that of the Vodafone K5005 (or Vodafone K5006 ) or by Telekom Speed Stick LTE Telekom. while the telecom Speed Stick LTE 4G connection is possible, it shows the Huawei E392 3G networks only as available. In my experience, this is also due to the Huawei E392 can’t be rotated into a vertical position where the reception is usually a bit better. If you live in an under-served area, it is advisable to use an external antenna. For it provides the LTE stick two connections for two separate external antennas or MIMO antenna with two antenna connectors – depending on use case.

Conclusion:

Finally, we can see that the Huawei E392 definitely a good LTE stick. Especially for global travelers, HUAWEI E392 could support all major bands and frequencies; it’s a good companion to go all over the world. The preinstalled software can convince with easy operation and quick setup. Unlocked HUAWEI E392 4G LTE modem is a good gadget a enjoy 4G network. Or alternatively, it can keep fast connection under 3g network. Equipped with an alternative connection software, it is also possible to use the Vodafone K5005 with all network operators.

What’s the Difference Between HUAWEI E587 and E5756?

HUAWEI recently released a new pocket WiFi Hotspot for E5 Family. The model number is HUAWEI E5756, take notice, it’s HUAWEI E5756 42Mbps Pocket WiFi, not HUAWEI E5776 4G 100Mbps LTE Pocket WiFi. Frankly speaking, we feel glad that HUAWEI products are more and more user-orentied and focusing on the market demand.

HUAWEI E5756 3G 42Mbps Mobile Power Bank WiFi Router

Someone may say HUAWEI E587 is already a pocket WiFi for 42Mbps based on DC-HSPA+ technology. With external antenna and support 5 users, it almost the top configuration of HUAWEI 3G Pocket WiFi. From HUAWEI E5756, we could see something special, that’s why we say HUAWEI is paying more attention to users and market demand.

HUAWEI E5756 3G 42Mbps Mobile Power Bank WiFi Router

HUAWEI E5756 incorpates the basic functions of 3G portable WiFi Hotspot, supporting 5 users to share WiFi network, easy to take in pocket size, LED screen to show the connection status and operator information. One key special feature is that except 3G Router function, HUAWEI E5756 could also work as a mobile power bank. What a amazing! Perhaps many users are feel tired to take a iPhone, iPad or other electronics outside. To keep the electronics continuous power supply, they must take a power bank, but more importantly, to keep them connected with network, a portable WiFi router is a necessary gadget. So they want less weight in their bag, Huawei finds this demand, and combines the router funtion and power bank function into one. Then HUAWEI E5756 HSPA+ 42Mbps Pocket WiFi and Power bank is born.

Looking at HUAWEI E587 Mobile WiFi Hotspot, it could only work as 3G WiFi Router, so the mobile power function is key difference between HUAWEI E5756 Pocket WiFi. If you have opportunity to choose between them, which one you will take?
