More and more 4G networks are launched to commercial as time being, many users want to have their own mobile gadgets to experience faster surfing speed. However, there are so many 4G modems on the market now, which one is better?
It’s a good question. First, we should know some knowledge about 4G Network. LTE and WiMAX are two most popular 4G Network. Since LTE dominates the 4G trend. Today, we would introduce 4G modem for LTE network.
As the most popular 4G network, LTE uses TDD and FDD technologies to transmit the data. Subsequently, there are 4G TDD modem and 4G FDD modem. They both have special advantages and weakness. This is not our topic today. Today we talk about the 4G modem for TDD network, i.e. 4G TDD Modems.
