Huawei E398u-18 4G LTE FDD USB Modem Review

Comparing with Huawei E398 other branch models, such as Huawei E398u-11, E398u-1 and E398u-15, Huawei E398u-18 should be a special one, it’s not because Huawei E398u-18 has different appearance as other models, it’s due to Huawei E398u-18 supports the special FDD LTE band 8 (900MHz), which is rarely deployed per current 4G network situation.

HUAWEI E398U-18 FACE LOGO

According to the GSA report about 4G LTE network, the Band 8 (900MHz) is only available in few countries and areas, such as KT Corporation in South Korea, Telenor in Sweden. And in the market, few 4G modems could support this band. Huawei E398u-18 is one of them.

Today, we get the Huawei E398u-18 4G LTE FDD Surf stick with Telenor logo. Telenor is the provider in Europe and provide 4G network in three countries: Hungary, Norway and Sweden.

In the three countries, Telenor provides different LTE frequencies as below:

Hungary: FDD 1800MHz

Norway: FDD 2600MHz

Sweden: FDD 900/2600MHz

So to save cost, Huawei E398u-18 could support all of the bands/Spectrum above: 4G LTE FDD 900/1800/2600MHz

With same appearance of E398u-11 and E398u-15, Huawei E398u-18 has only one external antenna connector at the side Micro SD slot. If user wants to use data card with MIMO technology, E398u-18 may not be a good option.

Following the mobile WiFi HUAWEI E5331, HUAWEI had released another sister model HUAWEI E5332 HSPA+ 21Mbps mobile WiFi Hotspot. So what’s the difference from the two WiFi hotspots?

There is no doubt that HUAWEI E5331 is the best seller in HUAWEI E5 Mobile WiFi family. Based on good performance, cool appearance and good price, HUAWEI E5331 becomes the most popular pocket WiFi since its release from HUAWEI.

HUAWEI E5332 comes out to compensate some functions that HUAWEI E5331 can’t finish. For example, if the users use E5331 in rural area where the network signal strength is weak, the internet link speed may be too slow to bear. At this time, you may think find some ways to enhance the signal. To add an external antenna is the usual way to solute it, however, HUAWEI E5331 don’t have the port for external antenna, then HUAWEI E5332 comes out.

So the main difference between HUAWEI E5332 and E5331 is that HUAWEI 5332 has external connector for antenna, which is to give solution for users living in areas with weak signal. With the connector, HUAWEI E5332 is a little bit thicker than HUAWEI E5331. In this case, it looks like HUAWEI E5151 WLAN Mobile 3G Router.

But for most users, HUAWEI E5331 is enough because actually, there is built-in antenna in the two mobile WiFi Hotspot. And if you choose HUAWEI E5331, it proves the coverage of network in your area is good enough; users don’t need any more external antenna. And with external antenna port, the cost of HUAWEI E5332 is a little bit expensive than E5331. But you still need spare antenna for HUAWEI E5332, you could buy it from 4gltemall.com .

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.

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.

LTE Surf Sticks

LTE Sticks are technically radio modems, meaning little combined transmitting and receiving equipment, which operate on different frequencies.

They can be connected via the USB ports to virtually any device such as a larger netbook, laptop or home PC. The sticks are in demand, such as to use abroad, or a change to a new and faster wireless data technology, and they are easy to replace. In addition to the relatively small size and low weight, this versatility and the slight changes are the greatest advantage of the sticks.

Even with the older data radio technologies of UMTS and GSM, sticks still dominates the modem market, other solutions such as built-in modem or modem card format to be used much less frequently. For the majority of users, LTE Surfsticks will be the solution that makes mobile internet the fastest and easiest access.

The new LTE Sticks come from the Far East, currently dominate the South Korean manufacturer Samsung, LG Electronics and Pantech market, China’s Huawei tries to win over new entrants.

So the first LTE Stick was Samsung GT-B3740, which is developed by Samsung in Vodafone Brand. The next stick from Swedish-finished network operator Telia Sonera is the GT-B3710 from Samsung. Meanwhile, there is B3730, which dominated alongside LTE is UMTS and HSPA, GSM and EDGE, as well as wireless technologies. The device sends in LTE mode on the frequency 2600MHz. It is also used in the Vienna LTE network of the Austrian mobile operator A1 Telecom Austria. The B3740 is likely to be an optimized version with a similar standard.

The second LTE stick comes from Chinese mobile phone supplier, HUAWEI, it is HUAWEI E398. The device was tested in the LTE network of O2 and is now available at Telekom from the second half of 2011. In Austria, it is the mobile operator A1 Telekom Austria offered on its website.

Global Supply of LTE Sticks

There are very few data sticks, which are with wireless data LTE technology, so pure LTE Sticks have others technologies backward, such as UMTS, GSM and CDMA 2000 network to send and receive. Overall, a clear trend is emerging to stick with multi-technology, pure LTE Data sticks are shunned by the mobile operators.

The Pantech UML290, originates from South Korea, and sells for US Verizon Wireless LTE network. It’s like the stick used in Scandinavia and Austria from Samsung, sends an older and slower wireless technology on board. In the case it is spread in the U.S. CDMA 2000, and therefore he receives on 800 Mhz and 900 Mhz. For LTE reception, it is in the range of 700 MHz road.

The second stick, Verizon Wireless LG VL600 of the South Korean manufacturer LG Electronics. With LTE, it’s in the 700 MHz band travelling with the frequency used the U.S. 3G CDMA 2000 technology, it can send and receive on the 800MHz and 1900MHz band. LG Electronics also has the LD 100 model that is used in Japanese LTE network of Docomo. It also speaks several wireless data technologies, besides LTE, there is UMTS and HSPA, plug for the Japanese to travel abroad, GSM and GPRS are also included. GSM will be gradually switched off in Japanese networks.

What to look for LTE Sticks

All LTE Sticks on the market are significantly larger than the surf sticks with pure UMTS or GSM technologies; they therefore require more space on your laptop. If two or more USB ports close together, this may lead to another USB ports blocked. Therefore a rotatable mechanism for raising the stick is very useful to save some space with a bent 90 degrees stick, and most of these sticks have rotate mechanism.

Pure LTE Sticks can only be used where LTE is available. Since the LTE network is expanding coverage in many areas, it would take many years for LTE network to cover every corner. Therefore in some areas, you have to use other technologies UMTS and GSM, and the associated wireless data technologies HSPA and EDGE, to dominate the modem.

Several sticks offer external antenna connectors; one is for the older mobile technologies and one for LTE. This is an important consideration when buying, LTE will be predominantly at home or hospital use, we recommend you might install an LTE external antenna.

LTE Netbooks Guides

An LTE netbook is a small, portable computer with a built-in wireless modem that can send and receive with the LTE technology.

Networks usually have a screen with a screen size less than twelve inches, and the keyboard is much smaller. They are designed as a device with which it mainly goes mobile to the Internet. For other functions, such as writing or creating graphics are much less suitable.

Currently there are three LTE netbooks, which have already been presented to the public. All three are not on the market. The first netbook has been released for the LTE network of U.S. LTE operator Verizon Wireless.

The LTE Modems

The built-in LTE Modem into the netbook is a small wireless transmitter that is located inside the computer, and not visible from the outside. While sticks, routers an modems are connected in card form from the outside through a slot to the device, they are hidden under the hood here. The advantage of slots, such as the USB ports free for the other functions such as USB memory sticks.

These LTE modems to be installed in portable computers offer the chipmaker to already. They will be installed by netbook manufacturers buy only in more devices, if a sufficiently large market for such LTE netbooks has formed. First choice as a modem first LTE surf sticks will be, with which existing mobile computers for the new wireless data technology to be retrofitted.

Three Netbooks in the race

There are currently three LTE netbooks, which were presented to the publice. All three have been upgraded on the basis of existing models with an LTE radio modem. It is already clear that this will be the path of development, based on the most mobile LTE computer company, a successful model is upgraded with the new technology and is possibly still in the area for camera or hard disk.

South Korea’s Samsung showed the first LTE netbook at the beginning of 2010, the Samsung N150 LTE. It has been long on the market and according to experts, it’s a netbook with many others features such as LTE-enabled version with built-in wireless modem.

The first LTE netbook you will probably be able to buy is in the USA, since the Apple New iPad released, many PC manufacturers follow the trend, but there are many factors under worry. First, the 4G LTE band compatibility is big problem, because in different areas, the deployed 4G LTE spectrums are completely different, so there will be many brand models for even a single netbook. If one manufacturer want to produce on model to compatible with all the 4g LTE networks, it’s obvious unpractical. With higher price, the customer may not give a shit. Second, the power supply is a big headache in 3G netbook. The operation system Android and IOS both consumes power in large volumes; the battery with the device is not enough. When running on 4G, netbooks need more power, then it’s also a problem for manufacturers.

But with mobile power bank, the netbook could find a acceptable solution for power. HUAWEI E5756 is a device with power bank and WiFi router functions 2 in 1. It’s a good solution during this time, but it support HSPA+ 42Mbps download speed ,which seems for 3G Advanced network, not 4G.
