Need to know what the LTE TELKOM ROUTER SPECS should be

[johanhorak]

Hi

I have a LTE 5 gig sim with Telkom.

I thought from this link that my Huawei B68a was a LTE router but that's apparently not true as I could not activate LTE on it. Only 3G.

I want to buy an LTE router (and don't need the most expensive option as I need to see if Telkom LTE will work in my area). The Telkom LTE coverage map shows I am okay.

From another post on this forum I saw TELKOM LTE require a 2300MHz router.

1) Is the 2300MHz the only major issue or are there others I need to consider?
2) If you can suggest any reasonably priced router let me know as well.


Thanks

Get a technican to come to your house and do a test for you. We smsed the number on one of the pamphlets, a guy contacted us and he came around a few days later with equipment to test the coverage. Coverage map showed we were just about covered, when he tested it was actually better than expected. Costs you nothing

Your link is the only one I found that states LTE but even then when looking closer at the specs it becomes clear that the B68a does not do LTE.

The B315 or E5577 should be fine.

Thanks. I will have to prod them again to come and visit.

What seems to be an import spec for Telkom LTE is FDD 2100 MHz/1800 MHz TDD 2300MHz/2600 MHz
