Unlike most LTE hotspots, this device is clamshell in nature and packs a relatively huge high-gain antenna. The benefit to carriers is that their towers can be more sparsely located or alternatively the device will use less power. As you can see, it isn’t necesarily the sleekest of consumer electronics devices you’ve seen but it is under $50, works with USB as well, supports 802.11 b\/g\/n and LTE-TDD. A separate battery pack can be attached to make it a mobile device. The Sequans Mont Blanc LTE Platform which the product is based on provides VoLTE support. This is useful as it is difficult if not impossible to find a sub $100 VoLTE device meaning a carrier can allow a subscriber’s 3G phone to utilize the WiFi on the AirWire device to make a tariffed phone call over LTE.<\/p>\n
As you might imagine, Pinyon’s background is in antenna design and thanks to its technology carriers can have a much more flexible end-user device to compete with wireline service or act in lieu of wires.<\/p>\n
