In these recent years, with 3G and 3. 5G being accepted as a common and popular mobile network, HSPA (High-Speed Bundle Access) becomes very crucial for PG SLOT road enthusiast, as they are much faster than GPRS network and easy to use.
A person will need a 3G or 3. 5G-enabled devices to use this high-speed network (of course, this service depends on the Telecommunication Company of the country). It can be in-built in the devices already or it can be in an external unit.
HuaWei’s latest UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS stick modem is much smaller than its precursor (E160). Technically, this UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS stick modem is actually a modem, an UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS flash, a virtual CD-ROM drive.
The package from Starhub comes in only white colour with a Starhub logo. It is packaged into a DVD size cover with the modem itself and an extended cable. The major difference between E160 (the predecessor) and this E170 is that E170 itself has recently a UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS connection point. In normal operation, you will not need to use the extended cable. In the operation manual, it states that this cable enables you to improve the signal. You will need to pick the SIM Card separately for this modem. Or you can use your existing SIM Card on it. Starhub enclosed this package with an unlimited Data SIM Card that is easy to install onto the device.
The modem is very light and the finishing is of high quality. The size is slightly bigger than a convention thumb drive. The Dimensions is 80. 5mm long by 24. 1 mm on the width and 11. 8 mm thick. It is shiny white in color and intensely quality. The UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS connection is hidden with a cover that is quite sturdy. The cover includes a silver hinge for you to hang this revolutionary product around. Near the UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS connection port is the SIM Card holder. It is carefully hidden and flushed with the overall design. I wouldn’t be too sure about that as the device may fall off if it is being pulled (and you are left with a cover only).
As mentioned previously, this modem is a virtual CD-ROM drive. Reason being that the software is exhibited with it and it is detected as a CD-ROM drive when blocked in. A Dell laptop was used for this connection check. It took about 5 minutes to begin the modem automatically. You will be prompt for the first time to install the software into the computer. It is a obligatory step. After the installation, the Starhub connection panel will show up and you just need to click the connect image. Starhub connection is based on HSDPA/HSUPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS/GSM.
On the main panel itself, you can switch to the statistics page to see the distribute and download speed with a nice graph. There is also the written text and phone book page that we did not explore. Basically, according to Starhub, the SIM Card is a data card that could not be taken for calling. However, basic txt messaging is possible. As for the phone book, it is the contacts storage of the SIM card. For this bundle, there are 500 contact video poker machines.
This little device is best for Road Enthusiast to download emails and surf the internet. As the form factor is small, it can be easily carried around. With an unlimited Data plan, this unit can be linked to the internet all day without worrying about the bills.
