Test Report of ZTE MF820D Web Stick on Sonera’s 4G Network

We received Sonera’s 4G USB dongle ZTE MF820D some time ago, so we decided to take a closer look clear what 4G is capable of. The timing is better now because the network is better and unlike a year ago.

 

The stick ZTE MF820D itself is quite slim, and fortunately the drive manufacturer ZTE, has equipped the device with comfortable compact design, so stick may be a usable position also signed two USB port HP despite the fact that the second port is connected to a USB mouse receiver.

This is a big plus, for example, ZTE MF820D could be change to another side if there is no enough space between two USB ports. And it would be hard for HUAWEI E392 4G TDD FDD Compact Stick to do this.

When the stick ZTE MF820D plug to PC, it starts Mobile Broadband application installation automatically. This is usual steps for all USB sticks, and it’s very nice that the installation is easy and seamless.

 

After starting the application asks for a PIN code, and this is required as long as the network is found. The delivery of a small error caused the PIN code window, and it shows that “You have 3 time remaining”, which should of course be “You have 3 tries left.”

 

Finding a network available seemed insanely slow, and before your stick found a network, it would take several minutes. This is a little bit disappointing, especially when we are trying the very fast networks.

After find the network, we started to test the speed of this 4G LTE stick. On the positive side were low pings, only HSPA+ network is usable, pings were about 40-50 ms range, which is enough to start playing in some degree of well.

 

Our office is in connection with the auto setting up a HSPA+, but even in practice, the data was transferred to a single channel speeds of truly commendable and we received 10 test average of 14.38 Mbit /s and the top result of 17.85 Mbit/s for download. The upload speed of the average, is 2.1 Mbit/s and a peak speed of 2.5 Mbit/s.

 

Then we let the ZTE MF820D 4G stick increased to 4G, by setting the network to “only 4G”, although the rates of test sites were weaker than HSPA+, respectively. It is only when we moved to the other side; we got to DC-HSDPA speeds. This is probably due to the fact that the test bench side of the base station Sonera does not support DC or LTE speeds and 4G speeds were forced into two within the post due to a low level. Only one side of the house, we got full use of poles, the speed increased commendable level. Speed tests average came now 30.68 Mbit/s, and the outside lane for outbound 19.01 Mbit/s with 30-40 ms level. Despite the fact that Sonera’s map, the office is “true 4G” in the region, these speeds were still better than DC-HSPA+, so the “real” about 4G was not yet in sight. Thus, we had to leave the sea to fish farther, to find the right 4G network.

So we packed our drive and the laptop in the car and we went to a place the Finnish phone manufacturer’s parking lot in the vicinity of which would certainly be an LTE base station. When we got to the scene, we immediately started to run speed tests and speeds up comfortably. Now, we average the resulting download 68.73mbps (peak 92.15 Mbit/s) and outgoing 33.25mbps (peak 35.54 Mbit/s). We also tested the speed by download a file from ftp.4glterouter.de, and this became the fastest machine 7.5 MB/s and 729 MB download size took a total of 3 minutes and 22 seconds, so the average speed is 3.3 MB/s.

 

While the 100 Mbit/s speed was missed, offering a 4G stick speed is found near the base, while maintaining strong coverage and interference. This is especially appreciated by those who transfer over the Internet to a lot of large files and multimedia. However, it’s usually hard to get the peak download speed to 100Mbit/s. At this early stage, I would see myself DC-HSPA+ to bring the best value for the money until the LTE network is properly spread in all population centers even though the DC-HSPA+ seems slow at the beginning, the speed can always upgrade by calling your operator’s customer service.

As the results, it can be concluded that the 4G functionality of a 4G stick is strongly location-dependent and although the operator’s coverage map promises 4G speeds, this does not yet mean that the broadband speeds that reached the desired level. Before you purchase, it’s better for you to take a stick to test first, which many operators offer. It is the easiest, then select the contract, or buy unlocked 4G dongles from www.4gltemall.com which certainly offers a sensible value for the money.

 

HUAWEI New LTE Cat 4 MBBs on MWC 2013

Communication Reuters (CWW) February 27, held in Barcelona, Spain, 2013 Mobile World Congress MWC, Huawei exhibited the full range the LTE Cat4 data terminal containing:

 

  1. The world’s first LTE Cat4 Wingle Wi-Fi dongle E8278

  3. The Stylish homeb broadband of LTE Cat4 Speed Cube E5170,
  4. LTE Cat4 dongle E3272 with sports car streamlined design,

 

And other Smartphone and MediaQ serials terminals further highlight the strength of Huawei LTE data terminals.

 

In 2012, LTE set off a wave of building climax in the world. Comparing to the fixed network by the transmission rate, and a relative fixed network, LTE data service is more flexible business laying relatively 2G, 3G cheaper single-bit cost, and relatively Wi-MAX, and incorporates a much more mature industry chain. So more and more wireless operators, fixed-line operators, Wi-MAX operators are beginning to invest in LTE business. According to the GSA report shows that in January 2013, 381 operators in 114 countries are building LTE networks, and 145 LTE networks in 66 countries have officially commercial, expected at the end of 2013, total 234 providers’ LTE networks would be launched to commercial in 83 countries.

 

Commercial LTE network is inseparable from the support of the terminal, and the data terminal is no doubt a pioneer. With the wide range of commercial LTE network, a large number of LTE data terminals become personal essentials into the home and for small and medium-sized enterprises, and scale. Huawei played an important role in this regard. As of the end of December, Huawei has more than 90% of the commercial LTE network provides a service terminal 12 annual shipments of more than 3 million units.

 

 

“Huawei is one of the few vendors who are able to provide wide coverage, multi-band, end-to-end solutions and in current success makes us confident about the future.” Said Liu Xiaobin, vice president of Huawei mobile broadband product line, Huawei will always focus customer center, from the needs of customers and consumers, to leading-edge technology and leading design, sustainable and innovative spirit, to bring consumers leading experience and help customers achieve sustained commercial success. ”

 

 

In fact, Huawei LTE has global leader in the powerful technical strength.

What’s the Difference between Sierra 770s and 754s 4G Mobile Hotspot?

At the beginning of 2013, the US vendor Sierra Wireless released a new 4G LTE mobile Hotspot Sierra 770 Wireless Aircard. Actually, we feel puzzled why Sierra Wireless released the 770s. It’s not because there is already AirCard 770s, but there is another similar 4G AirCard from Sierra 754s. The model number is 754s. What makes us more curious is that the AirCard 770s and AirCard 754s are both for the provider AT&T, in our opinion, they are very similar, almost the same functions besides the appearance.

 

 

Let’s have a review of the two 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot Sierra 770s and Sierra 754s. Hope to find something unknown.

 

Chipset

From the official specification, we found Sierra 770s Mobile Hotspot incorporates dual-chipset (Qualcomm MDM 9215 and WTR1605L) while Sierra 754s has only one chipset Qualcomm MDM 9200. In this case, Aircard 770s should have upgraded the chipset to have better performance.

 

Network Band

They both work for LTE 700MHz (Band 17) / AWS (Band 4), which is the AT&T 4G LTE network spectrums. But there is some difference on 3G UMTS bands; the Sierra AirCard 770s could support HSPA/HSPA+ 850/1900 MHz while Sierra 754s supports UMTS/WCDMA 850/900/2100 MHz. On 2G network, Sierrra 770s works on GPRS/EDGE 850/1900 MHz while 754s works on Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900MHz). This should be the key difference between them. Because the 3G network band decides which model could be used.

 

 

Other same specifications between them:

 

* 2 x 2 MIMO antenna connector for LTE

* Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n

* FDD-LTE Category 3

* Supports up to 10 Wi-Fi devices (configurable)

* 100 Mbps downlink, 50 Mbps uplink)

* MicroSD TM / SDHC support (up to 32 GB)

* Standalone and assisted GPS

 

We suppose the Sierra Wireless Aircard 770s is for specific areas in US because the network coverage of AT&T may vary on spectrum of 3G UMTS and 2G GSM/GPRS. However, since no official saying is presented, we can’t make this conclusion.

 

 

Sometimes, we believe the newer, the better, especially for consumer electronics. And from appearance, the Aircard 770s looks really cool in color and design. We believe it would never let the users disappointed. If you want to buy this new mobile hotpsot, welcome to land www.4gltemall.com for more details.
