What’s the Difference Between HUAWEI E3272 and E3276?

At the MWC, we saw the new 4G LTE cat4 USB Stick Huawei E3272. At the first glance of the LTE cat4 modem, it reminds us the Huawei E3276, the world’s first LTE cat4 4G Surfstick. Since they both support 4G LTE cat4, here comes a question: what’s the difference between them?

 

 

Huawei E3276 is an elder model which was released at the beginning of 2012. Here now, there are various sub-models available for many operators. The model Huawei E3276s-151 is the most popular model. Huawei E3272 comes out on MWC 2013.

 

 

 

The first difference between Huawei E3276 and E3272 is chipset platform, Huawei researched how own brand chipset Hisilicon, before that, Huawei always use Qualcomm 4G chipset, which arise the cost of Huawei 4G modems. Now with Huawei chipset, we suppose the price of its 4G modem would be much cheaper than before and acceptable for most users.

 

As the same feature of Huawei E3276, Huawei E3272 also supports 4G FDD and TDD networks. In the sub-models, they may support only TDD or FDD network, or together. Under TDD network, the peak download speed up to 112Mbps while upload peak speed is 10Mbps. With FDD network, the speed may reach 150Mbps for downlink and 50Mbps for uplink. The difference lies on the 2G network.

 

 

 

 

Huawei E3272 could not only support TDD/FDD/UMTS/GSM/GPRS, it could also support the American standard EVDO. So Huawei E3272 would be most likely to be available for American operators.

In addition to the appearance, Huawei E3272 LTE cat4 USB modem has a unique feature: HiLink technology. In Huawei 3G USB stick, this technology has been commonly used. It’s a user friendly system for modem application. No Driver installation, after the modem plug to PC, it would automatically connects in 15 seconds. Huawei use this technology in 4G USB modems, which makes Huawei E3272 more attractive, especially for the users who are bored about setup or configure the parameter. With simple operation, Huawei E3272 would response quick and get connected. Huawei E3272 should be the first 4G dongle with HiLink technology.

 

In conclusion, Huawei E3272 improves many functions and should performance much better than Huawei E3276. But whether Huawei chipset Hisilicon would be reliable, time will tell.

What’s the Difference Between HUAWEI E3331 and HUAWEI E369?

At the CES 2013, we found Huawei released a new 3G USB stick, the model number is Huawei E3331. The appearance of E3331 looks like E369, but there must be something different from the two models.

 

Huawei says Huawei UltraStick E3331 is the world’s smallest USB data card, which is very light and thin. It’s said that E3331 is the best partner for Apple Mac Ultra book. Perhaps Huawei is following the trend for mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and electronics, to make them thinner and lighter. But we remembered that Huawei also said Huawei E369 is the world’s slimmest data card, and then what’s the difference between the two brother models?

 

 

 

The Huawei E3331 and E369 both support HSPA+ download peak speed up to 21.6Mbps. They both support 3G UMTS/WCDMA network 900/2100 MHz, Huawei E369 seems more powerful because it could work on five UMTS/WCDMA 850/900/AWS/1900/2100MHz, which means Huawei E369 could work on more 3G networks, especially with the 3G operators in Japan and USA.

 

 

They both don’t support the Micro SD memory card, which should be limited by the slim body space. However, Huawei E3331 incorporates HiLink technology, which helps Huawei E3331 get connected to network in 15 seconds. And the advantage of HiLink is that no driver is needed to install and user can manage the modem via Web UI. With HiLink, Huawei E3331 would auto real the SIM card, auto setup the parameters and auto connect. So this should be the key feature that different from E369.

 

What’s more, Huawei E3331 also supports IPV 6. As we know, here now, there is only few models that could support IPV 6. So Huawei E3331 should be the first 3G modem to support IPV 6. And around the February 2013, HUAWEI E3331 would be available in Philippines, and it’s expected this would be available for more operators.

HUAWEI E589 VS SIERRA 762s 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot

Following the 4G network is more and more popular, 4G gadgets are becoming more and more common. Many users get their own 4G gadgets and enjoy the changes brought from technologies. In the 4G gadgets, there are dongles and pocket WiFi. Today, we will have a review about the most popular 4G LTE mobile WiFi Sierra 762s and Huawei E589.

 

 

 

Somebody may ask why are the two models and not others? The answer is simple; because Sierra 762s and Huawei E589 cover the most commonly deployed 4G frequency bands in Europe and Asia-pacific region. We will talk it later.

 

 

Huawei and Sierra Wireless are two top LTE vendors all over the world, and they are always competing with each other for LTE share. Perhaps due the protect from US government, Huawei cannot enter US market, on the contrary, Sierra Wireless is the local US vendor, which supply telecom products mainly to North American and South American. Consequently, Huawei cooperates with many operators in Europe and Asia, but it cannot open the US gate. It’s political matter, not our topic today.

 

 

As the competitor, Huawei E589 and Sierra 762s incorporate many same features, which depend on the network status in target markets.

 

From the appearance, Huawei E589 follow the classic Huawei E5 mobile WiFi design while Sierra 762s is also in good design. They both support 4G LTE FDD 800/1800/2100/2600MHz, Huawei E589 seems more powerful because it support on more frequency FDD 900MHz.

 

 

With both supported download speed of 100mbps, the connection stability should the main concern from users. Based on many years professional experience, they are both reliable hotspots with good quality. Under same network condition, we have tested that the average speed is almost the same.

 

 

As the same feature of 4G LTE MiFi, Huawei E589 and Sierra 762s could support up to10 users to share the network simultaneously.

 

Other features are almost the same, easy to take, pocket size. So in our opinion, they are same good 4G mobile WiFi, if you don’t care about the brand, both Huawei E589 and Sierra 762s are worthy to have one.

 

Two Recommended HUAWEI Mobile Power Bank

Most of people know that HUAWEI is a professional wireless gadgets supplier, but few people know that HUAWEI also produce mobile power bank. You may be curious that what power bank that HUAWEI could supply. Of course, as the world’s top telecom equipments supplier, HUAWEI would not supply the common kinds of colorful power bank in the market.

 

Considering the great volume of gadgets that are already at the users’ hands, HUAWEI wants to find a resolution for its mobile terminals about continuous power supply. So it’s necessary to recommend HUAWEI new power bank so that users could get better experience and keep surfing without any interruption.

 

HUAWEI Charger Partner — 5200mAh Mobile Power Bank (CEB-Li01-5200 mAh)

 

As we know, HUAWEI only released this charger partner at the battery capacity of 5200 mAh. It should be based on the consideration that the usual HUAWEI mobile Smartphone and mobile WiFi incorporates the battery around 2500mAh, so it’s better for a power bank to give one device twice support after one time power charge. With this capacity, the cost of battery is acceptable and easy to take for users.

 

This power bank could use as flashlight. With only 200g weight, it’s easy to take in hand or pocket. With a mini USB connector, it could support two devices to charge power simultaneously. And the USB could use for most of the mobile Android phones, tablets and mobile WiFi hotspots.

 

Somebody may ask, here now I don’t have a mobile WiFi, but I do need a mobile WiFi and power bank 2 in 1, is there a device have this function? The answer is yes. HUAWEI had focused on the demand from customers, so they released a new mobile WiFi and power bank 2 in 1 gadgets, the model number is HUAWEI E5756:

 

HUAWEI E5756 Mobile WiFi and Power Bank 2 in 1

 

HUAWEI E5756 has the basic function as a HSPA+ mobile pocket WiFi to support up to 5 users to share the wireless network. The peak download speed could reach 42Mbps and this is the fastest 3G download speed that a mobile gadget could reach. Then the extra function as a mobile power bank, HUAWEI E5756s-2 could not only give Android phones, tablets and other mobile terminals power supply, it could also extend itself usage time.

 

 

Based on HUAWEI quality and HUAWEI brand, the two batteries are very popular and reliable, so if you want to buy a qualified battery charger partner or mobile power, you could take the two batteries into consideration.

What’s the difference between HUAWEI E5331 and HUAWEI E5220?

At the beginning of 2013, we found Huawei released a new pocket WiFi on CES 2013. At the first sit when we see it, we thought it was Huawei E5331 3G 21Mbps Mobile WiFi, because from the outside appearance, it’s completely the same as Huawei E5331.

 

However, after we read the specifications on the stick, we got to know we are wrong. It’s the new mobile WiFi hotspot Huawei E5220. Then here comes a question: why did Huawei release a same model with different name?

 

On the stick beside the demo of Huawei E5220, we read that Huawei E5220 supports single, dual or triple UMTS bands by its variant model. This feature is also specified on Huawei E5331. Huawei E5220 supports maximum download speed up to 21.6mbps, and upload speed to 5.76Mbps. It’s also the same as E5331.

 

 

The key feature of Huawei E5220 should be the link time. It says Huawei E5220 could network in 5 seconds with HiLink technology. HiLink is a new user-friendly system that users don’t need install any software or setup any parameters, once the device with HiLink technology connects the supported gadgets, the gadgets can then start surfing freely.

 

It’s obvious that this system brings much convenience for customers and save much time. Take a example, in the past, if you use Huawei E372 and plug it to PC, it would take around 1 or 2 minutes to install the driver in the modem; after driver installed to PC, you need to setup the parameters, such as Profile, APN, dial number etc… and if there is something wrong in the settings, you may can’t get connected to Internet. With HiLink technology, it would completely change this situation, once you plug the Huawei E3251 HiLink USB stick to PC, the PC then get connected in 5 seconds, no driver installation, no setup. And you can manage the modem through Web UI.

 

Huawei E5220 also follows this rule. After the WiFi enabled devices get connected to E5220, they can surf in 5 seconds, or slower in 10 seconds. No setup and driver are needed. In our opinion, this should be the revolution for this new pocket WiFi.

 

 

What’s more, Huawei E5220 supports maximum 10 users to share the network while Huawei E5331 supports 8 users.  From the above two upgraded features, we can see Huawei E5220 has different system from E5331 and it also improve the user experience and functions.

HUAWEI E3276s-151 4G LTE Cat4 USB Stick Specifications

As the first LTE Cat4 USB Modem in the world, HUAWEI E3276 attracts the eyes of the world when it’s first released by HUAWEI, the top telecom equipment supplier from China. The typical feature of the LTE Cat4 is that the LTE devices could support maximum download speed to 150Mbit/s, which increase the 50% speed than the current LTE speed. This speed is even 10 times faster than 3G.

 

 

Under this speed, users could surf and link to internet in awful experience. What’s the more, HUAWEI E3276 supports 3G and 2G simultaneously, with 3G and 2G backward, the modem could auto switch to the lower network. The UMTS network can achieve up to 84 Mbps download speed due to DC-HSPA+ technology.

 

 

Just like HUAWEI E398 and E392, HUAWEI E3276 also has many variants models, such as HUAWEI E3276s-150, HUAWEI E3276s-151, HUAWEI E3276s-152, HUAWEI E3276s-210, HUAWEI E3276s-500, HUAWEI E3276s-601 and HUAWEI E3276s-920 etc…They support different frequency bands to meet the requirement of various operators in many countries or areas. HUAWEI E3276s-151 should be the most popular model, because it supports the popular 4G LTE Spectrums all over the world: 800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz. And it has been presented to the public by the provider Megafon (Model Number: M150-1) and Vodafone( Modem Nuber: Connect Pen K5007)

Below are the details specifications for HUAWEI E3276s-151:

Here now, we can’t get the full information about other variants models of HUAWEI E3276 LTE Cat4 USB modem. But we will keep updated about them.

HUAWEI E392u-21 and E392u-92 4G LTE TDD USB Modem

As one of the top telecom equipment supplier, Huawei has been leading the trend of 4G network. To meet the demand for network upgrade, many 4G LTE modems are released with new LTE technology. TDD, as the one of the two most popular LTE technologies, is widely adapted for 4G network in many providers all over the world.

 

 

Huawei E392u-21 and E392u-92 are born to support TDD networks. Even though there are many variants for Huawei E392 or Huawei E397, Huawei E392u-21 and E392u-92 should be the most popular two models, because HUAWEI E392u-21 and E392u-92 both support 4G TDD band 2600Mhz, what’s more, HUAWEI E392u-92 supports TDD 2300MHz. What’s more, HUAWEI E392u-21 also supports 4G FDD 2600MHz.

 

 

Actually, the 4G Spectrum TDD 2300/2600MHz and FDD 2600MHz are the most popular bands which are commonly deployed and launched to commercial. So the difference between the two 4G LTE dongles is the 4G Frequency band supported. Below are the details of 4G Frequency they could support:

 

HUAWEI E392u-92:

4G LTE bands: TDD 2300/2600 Mhz

3G UMTS: 900/2100Mhz

HUAWEI E392u-21:

4G LTE Bands: FDD 2600MHz/ TDD 2600Mhz

3G UMTS: 900/2100Mhz

 

Unlike HUAWEI E392u-21, HUAWEI E392u-92 could only work on 4G LTE TDD network. Since then, HUAWEI E392u-21 may support high link speed than E392u-92. Under FDD network, HUAWEI E392u-21 could reach peak download data rate at 100Mbit/s and upload data rate up to 50Mbps. But the maximum speed for HUAWEI E392u-92 to download is 68Mbps while upload peak speed is 17Mbps. When working on TDD network, HUAWEI E392u-21 could also run at this speed.

 

HUAWEI E392u-92 is somewhat like ZTE MF820T, but it seems HUAWEI E392u-92 is better because E392u-92 works on multi-mode, 3G & 2G network are backward while ZTE MF820T is single mode for 4G LTE TDD 2300/2600MHz. And with external antenna connector, HUAWEI E392u-92 would get high data rate in practical with MIMO antenna.

 

 

With the same compact design, HUAWEI E392u-92 and E392u-12 both have 2 external pigtail connectors. With MIMO technology, the transmission rate for data would improve obviously whenever in laboratory or practical usage.

 

It’s a pity that HUAWEI E392u-21 couldn’t support 2300MHz, which let E392u-92 has its special features. They both work for 4G TDD network and both are good 4G dongles worthy to have if there is 4G TDD network available round you.

 

 

ZTE MF880 and MF820T 4G LTE TDD USB Modem

As one of the most important 4G vendors, ZTE has released many 4G LTE modems. ZTE MF820T and MF880 are two of the popular TDD models.

 

Just like other 4G LTE modems from ZTE, ZTE MF880 and MF820T followed the same design as ZTE MF820 4G LTE FDD Surf stick. The modem body is a little bit larger than usual 3G USB stick. And taking them in hand, users can feel the weight is more than 3G modems.

 

 

What is a pity that both ZTE MF820T and MF880 don’t have the connectors for external antenna. Perhaps at the big inning when engineer designed the mode, they didn’t take this factor into their blueprint. As we can see, in the serials of ZTE MF820D, MF821, MF821D, MF820S2, MF820T, MF880, they all incorporates no antenna ports. As the key features of MIMO connection, we are afraid it may not be as good as the modems with MIMO antenna for data transmission.

 

 

ZTE MF820T and MF880 both work for 4G LTE TDD network, perhaps due to for different providers, they support different TDD frequency bands as below:

 

 

ZTE MF820T 4G LTE TDD Single Mode USB Modem:

* Single mode LTE TDD 2300/2600MHz

 

ZTE MF880 4G FDD TDD USB Modem:

* FDD 800/2600MHz

* TDD 2300/2600MHz

* DC-HSPA+/HSPA+/HSPA/UMTS 2100/900MHz

* EDGE/GPRS/GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz

 

 

This should the key difference between ZTE MF820T and MF880. Per current information, ZTE MF880 had need presented to public under provider “3” from UK. And ZTE MF820T should be for China Mobile. What should focus is that ZTE MF880 could also support FDD LTE band 800/2600MHz. It means MF880 could switch between FDD and TDD networks, so ZTE MF880 is somewhat like a enhanced ZTE MF820T.

 

 

 

Regarding the data transmission speed, they both support download speed at 68Mbps and upload at 17Mbps under TDD –LTE network. ZTE MF880 seems more powerful because when working at FDD network, the peak speed could reach to 100Mbps for downlink while uplink could reach 50Mbps.

 

In conclusion, ZTE MF880 seems more powerful than ZTE MF820T, so if you want to want buy ZTE 4G LTE TDD USB Modems, welcome to www.4gltemall.com

 

 

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.

What’s the difference Between ZTE MF820S2 and ZTE MF820T?

As one of the LTE vendors over the world, ZTE had released many 4G USB Modems for operators all over the world. Most of them have been presented to the public with the commercial LTE systems.

 

We found there are two similar models: ZTE MF820S2 and ZTE MF820T. Today, we will introduce what’d the difference between the two LTE USB Modems.

 

 

ZTE MF820T is a 4G LTE TDD Modem for 2300/2600Mhz with download speed up to 100Mbps and upload speed to 17Mbps. The bandwidth is 10MHz and 20MHz.

 

ZTE MF820S2 is greater than MF820T, it can work not only on LTE TDD 1900/2300/2600 MHz, but also on FDD network (band 2600MHz). Under TD-LTE network, the peak speed is almost the same as MF820T, but under FDD network, the peak speed could reach 100Mbps while upload speed could reach 50Mbps.

 

What’s more, the 3G TD-SCDMA and WCDMA networks are both available for ZTE MF820S2. This feature makes it more powerful than MF820T.

 

Above are the key difference between ZTE MF820S2 and ZTE MF820T. If you want to buy any of them, welcome to check www.4gltemall.com .
