Versitle MIFI?[3g/4g/edge] available here?

Featured Replies

Just discovered this devise and it seems like exactly what I need in traveling back and forth between 3g here and 4g in the civilized world for my notebook etc.

Wondering if there is any one model that can do both?? battery operated of course. And also wonder if they perform better than the standard aircard/dongle??

Please inform me in 'dummie' terms...........

thanks in advance.

Yes, great devices.

As you say, the 3G/4G device will need to be compatible with the mobile carrier in the countries you frequently visit.

Easiest if the device is SIM based and not tied (locked) to a mobile carrier service, this way you can purchase a SIM/Service as needed in each country.

Find out what BAND(s) [Frequency range] each of your mobile carriers utilize for 3G and 4G service (ie: 850, 900, 1800, 2100, . . . )

The device you choose will need to work in the same 3G or 4G band. Or you can have multiple MiFi* (Portable or Pocket WiFi) devices as use as needed.

3G UMTS 3G HSDPA & HSPA+

4G/LTE 4G LTE/E-UTRA

* In many countries "MiFi" is a restricted trademark owned by a single manufacturer, so other 'names' will be used to describe similar devices

What kind of speeds do these dongles get?

Depending on the network the one's I've seen upto 42mbs.

Sent from my XT1032 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

As casualbiker states, full link speeds of 42Mbps for 3G/HSPA+, and another ThaiVisa members reports getting 52Mbps off LTE with their iPhone.

AIS is conducting limited-area field testing in BKK with a 4G LTE 100Mbps network.

A speedtest posted last year on True Move LTE showed 37/7 Mbps

Conditions that will affect mobile data connection throughput

Backhaul speed and contention - the speed the tower communicates with the provider's hub, and simultaneous/concurrent users

Contract Speed - the speed your contract allows

FuP Speed - the speed your contract falls back to after your Time/Data allotment is exhausted
