Advanced Type3i receivers

[sajunky]

I would like to take attention to arrival of devices with Type3i receiver. In 3GPP it is defined as "diversity equaliser with interference awareness" (or interference cancelation). Such receivers can achieve significant gain near cell-edge - it means for majority of users. I recently downloaded pdf "Vodafone Springs" (from UK?). There are five modems listed and only one (the basic HSPA 7.2/2/0 do not support Type3i receivers! Those which do support Type3i receivers are:

K5005 (LTE)
K4605 42.2mbps (ginggs wrote about this modem - HUAWEI E372)
K4510 28.8mbps (also K4511)
K3806 14.4mbps (not HSPA+ device)

All of these modems have also external antenna connector.

Hello Sajunky,
How about Huawei E369 specs :
·Equalizer and receive diversity
·Support CPC, IC (Interference cancellation), APT
What it means? is that very useful for radio frequency crowded area?
And is it similiar with Huawei E372 feature?

[sajunky]

It looks to me a mainstream consumer product (with user changeable covers), not a performance oriented like E367, E372.
It has probably new preamp and equalizer without discrete filters, but digitally processed IC which allows UMTS five bands. But does it gives improved bit error rate? I doubt so. I prefer IC in addition to discrete filters (E372).
Besides, it looks like Huawei has picked up new buzzz words. They advertise CPC (Continuous Packet Connectivity) which nothing new, but a standard feature of HSPA+ R7.
I am puzzled about APT, surely they din't mean LTE APT700MHz band allocation in America and Asia?
Does it have external antenna connector? If not, my choice is current E367, E353, E352 range plus E372. No matter in crowder areas or not.
The only advantage E369 is when travel to America and Asia (frequency bands).

Thank you Sajunky,
E369 seems doesn't have external antenna connector, they advertise about CPC, IC and APT makes me confuse.
Ok, i'm with you then, i choose E372.

Clever narketting, thats all. E372 is the best choice if money is no problem.

That's why we need Grandmaster like Sajunky
