[Freeswitch-users] Huawei E169 Group Buy

[Bote Man]

An authoritative source of mine at AT&T Mobility said:

 

HSDPA UMTS (850, 1900MHz) . GSM GPRS EDGE (850 ,  1900MHz)

 

are supported, which looks like his edited version of the E169 data
sheet that I e-mailed to him.

The Huawei E169 is confirmed to work with mod_gsmopen. Special thanks to
Marcus Brown (mzb- on #freedoh) for helping me figure all of this stuff
out and for donating a E169, a SIM card, and a virtual machine to run
tests.  

 

Steve, understood. As far as I can tell the bands that the E169 supports
SHOULD cover most of the US carriers that support GSM. Like I said in my
last email, it is up to you guys to make sure that it will work in your
situation. If it doesn't I'd sell it on ebay, I don't think you'll have
a problem getting rid of it.

Hi,

When looking at models of 3G dongles look carefully at whether they
support the features you need. This basically comes down to supporting
the voice features, and supporting the bands you need in your area.

Most recent dongles with a Qualcomm chip set (which is most of them)
support the voice features needed to work with FS. However, many SIM
locked ones have the feature blocked. Unlocked ones should be OK.

Most dongles now support quad band 2G operation, which covers most of
the frequencies ever used for 2G GSM. However, most dongles only support
one 3G band. Some support 2 bands. There are, however, several bands
used for 3G around the planet. If the dongle you choose doesn't support
your local 3G bands, you will only be able to use it for 2G
communication. That might be OK. It might not. It depends on your local
service offerings. Just beware.
