The DOVADO USB Mobile Broadband Router (4GR) can be firmware-upgraded in order to capacitate newer USB modems as operators evolve their networks from one speed to the next, thus not requiring subscribers to acquire a newer router for each later generation of introduced technology.

Here are some of the typical speed references for the various technologies deployed by operators. Actual speeds may vary based on network congestion, service subcription, radio performance and general Interet Service Provider (ISP) capacity:

2G GSM technologies

• GPRS : 33.6kbps downlink, 9.6kbps uplink
• EDGE : 236.8kbps downlink, 119.4kbps

  3G UMTS technologies

• WCDMA : 384kbps downlink, 64-128kbps uplink
• HSDPA : up to 7.2Mbps downlink
• HSUPA : up to 2Mbps uplink
• HSPA+ : typically 10.2-21.6Mbps downlink, 5.76Mbps uplink

  3G CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology

• CDMA EVDO Rev. A : 3.1Mbps downlink, 1.8Mbps uplink

  Comment on SMS Support:
