Verizon Wireless AWS Band 4 LTE Amplifiers
(Image courtesy of Engadget)
Earlier this week Verizon announced that they’ve launched their AWS LTE frequencies for even faster data speeds. Users with devices capable of band 4 (1700/2100Mhz AWS) frequencies are seeing download speeds as high as 80Mbps and uploads right around 15Mbps. If your current device isn’t compatible with band 4 don’t worry, Verizon isn’t removing their existing LTE network or changing those frequencies. The AWS Band 4 rollout is designed for major metropolitan areas where additional throughput is needed. So far AWS LTE has shown up in New York City and in Los Angeles California with no official word on which cities can expect to have access to faster AWS bands.
What amplifiers will work with the new Band 4 AWS LTE network?
If you have signal related issues there are a wide range of antennas and amplifiers that can help boost reception for your home, office or while you’re in a vehicle. Back in the days of 3G this was simple because everyone used the same 800/1900Mhz bands. When LTE starting launching through different carriers it became more complex because everyone uses their own specific bands for LTE. Here is a breakdown of amplifiers that are compatible with Verizon’s new AWS Band 4 LTE network:
Wilson Electronics:
- Wilson AG Pro Quint 75dB 5 Band Amplifier
- Wilson 70dB AWS Amplifier
- Wilson 70dB Tri-Band 4G-C Amplifier
- Wilson Sleek 4G Universal
Cellphone-Mate:
What if I’ve already purchased a 700Mhz LTE Amplifier?
If you’ve already purchased the Cellphone-Mate CM700V direct connect LTE amplifier don’t worry. This amplifier will continue to amplify any standard LTE frequency across the U.S. Verizon is only using AWS LTE to help with load in larger metro areas so the amplifier will continue to boost standard LTE that averages 5-12Mbps download and 2-5Mbps upload. If you’re in market for an LTE amplifier for data service this is still the unit you’ll want to purchase, unless you plan to use this in a major metro area.
In that case we’d recommend contacting Verizon to see if AWS is available in your area first, then make sure the device you have is capable of Band 4. Some examples of Band 4 capable devices are the iPhone 5S (not the Verizon iPhone 5), Nexus 4, 291L Hotspot with an upcoming radio update and a few other devices. If your device isn’t capable of Band 4 or AWS isn’t available stick with a standard 700Mhz LTE amp, however, if your device is compatible with Band 4 and AWS is available faster speeds would be available with any of the amplifiers mentioned earlier in this article. For additional information about LTE amplifiers please contact 3Gstore at 866-347-8673.

The Verizon AWS 4G LTE Speed Myth explained
Over the past few days several tech blogs published news that Verizon Wireless launched AWS LTE (Band 4 1700/2100Mhz) in New York City and Los Angeles California. Accompanying these articles were screen shots of speedtests where users were getting 80Mbps download and 15-25Mbps upload. What a lot of people don’t realize is the speeds reflected on these tests aren’t 100% accurate and will change as more devices become “Band 4” AWS enabled. For example look back to when 4G LTE originally launched and only a few handsets offered the capability, users were posting speeds upwards of 60Mbps download and 20-30Mbps upload.
After more and more devices became LTE enabled speeds started to be reduced to the original quoted average of 5-12Mbps download and 2-5Mbps upload. In high traffic areas where Verizon doesn’t have enough 700Mhz spectrum available to provide the average speeds customers expect they’ll be adding the AWS LTE spectrum. The additional spectrum will allow devices to connect to either Band 13 (700Mhz LTE) or Band 4 (1700/2100Mhz AWS LTE) based on tower load.
To put this in simple terms think of a 2 lane highway vs. a 4 lane highway. In most smaller cities a 2 lane highway is enough, but in larger cities you’ll often see 4 or more lane highways. This is designed because more people live in these areas and more traffic passes through these points. AWS LTE is the equivalent to turning that 2 lane highway into a 4 or more lane highway for larger cities where additional capacity is needed. Right now in New York City and Los Angeles customers are able to show 80Mbps speeds because only a few devices are on the network, but when more devices update to band 4 the “traffic lanes” will slow down back to the average 5-12Mbps down and 2-5Mbps upload.
Most sites are confusing this speed for something that will be seen down the road when LTE-Advanced gets released in a few years. The LTE-Advanced network has a much higher throughput rating than current LTE and when that launches down the road people will see average speeds increase substantially. The new AWS LTE bands are still running the same LTE technology, just on a different frequency and doesn’t offer any additional throughput, just more overhead for larger markets.
What data devices have band 4 AWS enabled?

I've had the unit for about two weeks, but still have issues with web pages loading fine and then losing connections with the server. This seems to be an issue with Apple laptops from the many calls I had with Millenicom support. I have an older MacBook Pro and the newer Air so I know it is not an OS issue. When the service is connected it works well and for the price of 20 GB for $69 vs Verizon's plan of same for $120 that I hope to drop soon, I'm going to hang on till I get this connection issue solved. And as always 3GStore service is great!

Verizon Wireless hack allowed access to any numbers,text
A URL hack may have exposed texting data for tens of millions of Verizon customers. The URL Hack allowed attackers to see who Verizon users texted and when, provided they had a subscriber-level login to the carrier's website.
Who users texted and whenThe hack centers on the Verizon website's "download to spreadsheet" function, which allows subscribers to download a CSV file of the time, date, and recipient of their recent texts. Unfortunately, the URL for that download contained the subscriber's phone number, and simply changing the phone number in the URL would let a user download that number's spreadsheet.
Update:"Verizon takes customer privacy seriously. As soon as this was brought to the attention of our security teams, we addressed it, and no customer information was impacted."

FCC approves use of select AT&T LTE bands by smaller US carriers
The Federal Communications Commission approved changes that will lead to interoperability in the Lower 700MHz spectrum band. The order addresses interference concerns by modifying the technical terms governing the power used in the D and E Blocks. Further, the FCC believes Channel 51 will not disturb B and C Block, and wants to modify AT&T's existing B and C Block licenses to account for changes proposed by AT&T earlier this year. The FCC said, "The terms of the voluntary agreement serve the public interest by encouraging efficient use of spectrum and enabling consumers to enjoy the benefits of greater competition.
The standards developed by several wireless providers, along with the Competitive Carriers Association, will also give consumers more choice in using their devices with large and small carriers alike and will promote widespread deployment of mobile broadband services, especially in rural areas."
AT&T and Verizon Wireless operated their LTE 4G networks in the 700MHz spectrum band, as do several smaller carriers.
The smaller network operators petitioned the FCC to create these interoperability changes so that their devices will work on their own networks, as well as those of their competitors. AT&T responded by saying, "We are pleased to see the FCC moving swiftly to address these interference issues consistent with the negotiated solution. The action the Commission takes today, under continued leadership by Chairwoman Clyburn, is a critical step to achieving 700Mhz interoperability that will in turn foster industry investment and deployment in the 700MHz band to the benefit of U.S. wireless consumers."

Sprint Spark
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), October 30, 2013 - Sprint (NYSE:S) demonstrated live today 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) over-the-air speed at its lab near Silicon Valley, Calif. This was the highlight of a day that showcased the innovation and what’s possible on the Sprint network as the company unveiled technology with the potential to surpass wireless speeds of any U.S. network provider.
Named Sprint Spark, the super-high-speed capability demonstrates 50-60 Megabits per second (Mbps) peak speeds today with increasing speed potential over time. Given Sprint’s spectrum and technology assets, it is technically feasible to deliver more than 2Gbps per sector of over-the-air speed.
“Sprint Spark is a combination of advanced capabilities, like 1x, 2x and 3x carrier aggregation for speed, 8T8R for coverage, MIMO for capacity, TDD for spectral efficiency, together with the most advanced devices offering both tri-band capability and high-definition voice for the best possible customer experience,” said Dan Hesse, CEO of Sprint.
Sprint plans to deploy Sprint Spark in about 100 of America’s largest cities during the next three years, with initial availability in five markets today. Sprint 4G LTE service will be available by mid-2014 to approximately 250 million Americans, and Sprint expects 100 million Americans will have Sprint Spark or 2.5GHz coverage by the end of 2014. The first markets with limited availability are New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Tampa and Miami. The first smartphones with Sprint Spark capability are scheduled for customer availability in early November.

Sprint to cover 100M POPs with 2.5Ghz LTE by the end of 2014
According to Fierce Wireless Sprint will be launching 2.5Ghz LTE by the end of 2014. This frequency was originally used on the older 4G WiMAX frequencies and will be repurposed as additional LTE frequency so they can have additional spectrum between 700Mhz, 1900Mhz and 2.5Ghz 4G LTE. Right now Sprint has 230 markets covered with 4G LTE and plans to cover 200 million POPs by the end of 2013 on their existing 1.9Ghz LTE frequency. When Sprint launches 2.5Ghz LTE they will have the fastest LTE network available capable of 50-60Mbps on an unloaded cell in their tests. Right now Verizon covers 301 million POPs with LTE and is also deploying AWS spectrum, but even the AWS bands don’t have as much available spectrum as Sprint does giving them a possible long term advantage. For now most Sprint customers with LTE can expect to see an average of 6-8Mbps download.

I bought this SUS-AGN1 after returning a somewhat similar device, the TP-LINK MR3040 (http://amzn.com/B0088PPFP4?tag=kc2-20). I liked the TP-LINK, but it didn't support many modems (only 11 in the US), and OpenWRT/DD-WRT seemed inadequate. The Peplink model was 2.5x the price and wasn't battery/USB powered, but it seemed like it had a real company behind it, and I needed something robust. I spoke with Peplink sales and they seemed pretty great. They said this "on the go" model should benefit from updates that their other Surf routers receive (i.e. new modems), though I'm a bit skeptical because the "on the go" product isn't even listed on their website anymore. They also told me they can remotely connect to your router (on your request) to try to make an unsupported modem work. This benefits them because they can add another modem to their list of supported devices. I bought it from 3gstore for an extra $5 over other sites, because of their great support, and because another seller couldn't guarantee me the 2.0 hardware (which has a faster USB port to handle 4G modems). Overall the device works, but I was hoping for a slightly smoother experience. I am a technical guy, and I've used cellular routers before, but it still took me about 2.5 hours of playing with this thing to really understand all the settings. There are several items missing from the documentation that I needed to figure out or still haven't (profiles, bridge mode, "preferred modem"). -- A few things to note that may not be obvious: - Although this router supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi, you can only use one at a time. This is not how my dual band home router works. Additionally, if using Wifi-as-WAN, then your local network must be on the same band (and channel) as the WAN network. - The failover feature is nice, but could be nicer. Specifically, you can only failover TO a USB modem. I can imagine several scenarios where you may want to failover between Wired and Wifi, Wifi to Wifi, or even USB to Wired/Wifi. As just one example, if your 3G device is a mobile hotspot, then you'd need Wired-_Wifi failover to make use of it. It would be great to see that added. Also, your main link has to be down for 25 seconds minimum before failover is initiated. - Maybe it's limited just to my aircard (Franklin U301), but I couldn't get much info about the current state of the connection. Was it 3G or 4G, what was the signal strength, etc. Aside from "Authenticating" and "Connected", I couldn't see much status. - The Management interface seems ALWAYS accessible from the WAN side. Can't disable WAN admin like most routers. So make sure you set a strong password, or you're open for attack. - The Wifi-WAN profiles are confusing until you realize they are are similar to on a laptop: You can add multiple wifi-WAN profiles, and the router will automatically pick the strongest one it sees. (If you star a profile, it will take precedence.) I think the Roaming mode will have the router periodically scan all of your profiles for stronger options. There are 2 reasons this is confusing: 1. When you "select" a profile in the settings, you aren't telling the router to use that profile. You're just opening the profile to view/edit the options. 2. If you search for a new wifi network and connect to it without first adding a new profile, then you are constantly just overwriting the settings for one of your existing profiles. You could very easily accidentally overwrite a profile this way. - The power connector seems to use a standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm coaxial connector and provides 12VDC, so you should be able to power this thing from a simple car adapter like this one: http://amzn.com/B00DIG2R9K?tag=kc2-20 - your car might have higher/lower voltages, and you could damage the thing, but in general it's likely to work fine. - The unit comes with suction cups so you can hang it from a window to give the antenna a good view.
