The Anatomy of Huawei E355 Mobile Wifi Smart HSPA+

The new breed of wireless internet comes from another series of 4G technology. Although frequency band is different from 4G WiMAX or LTE, the HSPA+ an extension to HSDPA/HSPA/UMTS can attain upto 21.6mbps of download speed (reality is far behind). WiMAX is under 2.4GHz to 2.7GHz or rather the most enhanced version of your laptops WirelessLAN(11g). The E355 lies on frequency band of WCDMA2100 2.1GHz. 

For me, 7mbps to 12mbps stable speeds can make me a happy hacker --harhar--. But telcos catering for this services provides Fair Usage Policy(FUP) and shared connectivity on burst speed mode. So, currently I can attain 2.5mbps to 4mbps on full-scale 3G areas and hitting around 8mbps to 9mbps on HSPA+ available areas in the metro.

* I made this as an experiment on my own. Trying to explore the conditions and options to provide an effective air-to-air connectivity via 3G/4G using a YAGI directional antenna for hi-gain reception. Just exploring just like the old days of my amateur radio hobby(HAMS) & homebrews. I'm just planning to make one (Yagi Antenna) soon.
