Quantum now offers the latest Wilson Electronics 4G LTE 700 70dB Amplifier!
The Wilson 4G LTE 700 was created to provide a stronger 4G LTE signal over large coverage areas in any type of building. The 4G booster uses the 700MHz bandwidth and thus fits the U.S. market’s main LTE carriers (Verizon and AT&T). It offers a gain of up to 70dB for uplink and downlink. Easy to install, the 4G LTE 700′s gain can be adjusted which also makes the antenna placement less critical.
The 4G LTE 700 has been designed to optimize the mobile 4G broadband signal in medium to large buildings, it can easily cover a multi-story office or apartment building. Wilson’s device supports multiple simultaneous connections, and includes Wilson’s patented oscillation. In order to prevent the booster from causing interference on the cellular network, it also features advanced cell site proximity detection technologies, developed in partnership with Verizon in an effort to comply to the latest FCC rules. The model works with all LTE devices and service providers operating on the 700 MHz network.
Quantum’s 4G booster solutions already featured Wilson’s 4G AWS booster and now they add the 4G LTE 700 70dB Amplifier to its top-notch cellular signal booster portfolio.
To properly install the 4G booster, two antennas (interior and exterior) will be needed. They can be purchased separately on Quantum Wireless.
Please call our sale support at 1-877-259-4629 for personalized service and installations that fulfill your exact needs (in terms of area to be covered, signal strength, service provider, etc).
]]>Quantum’s long time partner Novatel Wireless just announced its Q2 results and what a success! With an increase of 50 percent over last year’s same period (from $71.8 million up to $118 million), Novatel is thrilled by the success of its 4G enabled mobile hotspots and more specifically, the popular MiFi 4510L mobile router for Verizon’s 4G LTE.
The MiFi 4510L is a 4G mobile router than converts the 4G (or 3G) cellular signal into a Wi-Fi network for up to five connected devices at the same time. With the size of a small wallet, the MiFi can be transported easily and used everywhere to obtain a secure and high speed internet access. Best used for on-the-road business or personal trips, the MiFi will create a Wi-Fi hotspot virtually anywhere.
Designed to work on Verizon’s 4G LTE high-speed mobile broadband, Novatel’s latest flagship product benefits of Verizon’s marketing efforts and success. Indeed, Verizon achieved great growth and numerous new subscribers during the same time period. Novatel’s succes shows the tight relationship between better mobile broadband service (Verizon’s highly performing 4G LTE network) and consumers owning multiple broadband-enabled devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops…).
Enjoy the MiFi 4510L by Novatel on Quantum Wireless for only $299.99. Also, feel free to browse through all of Quantum‘s 4G solutions (boosters, hotspots, routers, etc).
]]>Last week the FCC released a Notice seeking comments on the kinds of broadband performance-related information that will help consumers in purchasing broadband service. After a recent FCC survey showed that 80 percent of people with broadband don’t even know what speed they’re getting from their service, the FCC seeks to change that by obtaining input on several issues, including:
• The most important service characteristics (e.g., latency, jitter, and peak hour performance) that consumers need to determine their broadband performance requirements
• The most effective way to ensure that broadband providers inform consumers about broadband performance needs
• The best way to present information regarding broadband performance needs in a concise, cost-effective manner
• How often should “need for speed” information be updated?
• What are the most effective ways to get the information to consumers, including those with disabilities?
• How can network performance determinants best be conveyed to consumers?
What is the best way to promote broadband full disclosure, and make such disclosures understandable so that consumers have access to this information when they purchase broadband services? Does it make sense to have broadband performance labeling, such as food nutrition labeling, automobile fuel efficiency guides, or household appliances energy efficiency labels? Would this overwhelm consumers with technical data? Would government disclosure requirements for broadband constitute unnecessary government regulation of the Internet, and access to it?
We welcome your thoughts.
Comments to the FCC are due May 26, 2011. Reply Comments are due June 16, 2011. DA 11-661, CG Docket No. 09-158.

4. The Samsung Epic 4G from Sprint
Powered by Android and featuring a touch screen, full slide-out keyboard and the ability to create a 3G/4G network for up to five Wi-Fi devices, the Samsung Epic is a true mobile powerhouse. Operating with the Sprint 4G network, users can watch videos, play games and download applications at lighting-fast speeds.
While the boundaries of the United States of America may stretch from "sea to shining sea," the broadband access at points in between can tend to be a bit spotty. As the third largest country in the world in terms of area, there's bound to be more than a few desolate sections where broadband service leaves residents wanting. Determined not to leave those people in the the nooks and crannies of the nation in the technological dust, the FCC is going ahead with it's plan to initiate the "Mobility Fund"- an endowment aimed at spearheading the buildout of 3G and 4G mobile broadband networks in the neglected rural regions
of the U.S.
Currently up to 4 million Americans have little to no 3G service due to their habitation of geographically inconvenient areas, barely populated towns or places too distant from network centers. The prior stipulations and standards of the Universal Service Fund (USF), which aimed to assist in the spread of telecommunication service deployment to the farms and more rustic regions, just weren't cutting it. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski called the status quo "unsustainable" in that it was "designed to support the communications networks of the past, not the future."
Though the technology utilized under the USF may not be of use, the money left over from its operation will come in handy with the implementation of this new program. The Mobility Fund will take between $100 million and $300 Million of capital, some given up by Sprint Nextel and Verizon, for their rural 3G and 4G build out. There's been no talk of the preferred technology of the rural 4G rollout, but it really doesn't seem like the most immediate worry. The most important thing is to get 3G to places where it's lacking first and worry later about LTE vs. WiMax.
Even with the buildout, it isn't guaranteed that the efforts will bring a service of sparkling quality. It's likely that rural deployment won't be without signal issues. We wouldn't be surprised to see an increase in sales of signal boosters to help those with
wireless devices increase their performance on the new network. And if the deployment of 3G to rural areas proves a success we may see a boom of businesses that prefer to operate out of remote regions now that their communications capabilities have been increased, which also stands to benefit the sale of 3G and 4G wireless routers for burgeoning rural work spaces.
We won't know the true effect the implementation of the "mobility fund" will have on the rural reaches of America until the new networks are in place, but for a nation that considers itself a global superpower, having such a large number of citizens so far behind smacks of weakness. Broadband access is quick becoming a pivotal part of national infrastructure, building an information superhighway is as important as building actual highways once was.
