Mobile broadband is a digital, packet-switched wireless technology. Bandwidth usage is optimized as
multiple users share the same channel and bandwidth is only allocated to users when they send data. It
allows fast transfer of voice and non-voice data and provides broadband Internet access to mobile
devices.
Note: The actual data rate you obtain varies depending on the mobile broadband device
you use, the signal strength to the service provider’s base station, and so on.
You can configure how the Zyxel Device’s mobile broadband device connects to a network (refer to
):
• You can set the mobile broadband device to connect only to the home network, which is the
network to which you are originally subscribed.
• You can set the mobile broadband device to connect to other networks if the signal strength of the
home network is too low or it is unavailable.
3G
3G (Third Generation) is a digital, packet-switched wireless technology. Bandwidth usage is optimized as
multiple users share the same channel and bandwidth is only allocated to users when they send data. It
allows fast transfer of voice and non-voice data and provides broadband Internet access to mobile
devices.
4G
4G is the fourth generation of the mobile telecommunications technology and a successor of 3G. Both
the WiMAX and Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards are the 4G candidate systems. 4G only supports all-
IP-based packet-switched telephony services and is required to offer Gigabit speed access.
Note: The actual data rate you obtain varies depending on your mobile environment. The
environmental factors may include the number of mobile devices which are currently
connected to the mobile network, the signal strength to the mobile network, and so on.
