1 Overview
HUAWEI E587 Mobile WiFi (hereinafter referred to as the E587) is a high-speed
packet access (HSPA) universal serial bus (USB) modem. It is a multi-mode wireless
terminal for SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) and business professionals. To
meet requirements from different markets, the E587 has three branch types, E587u-2,
E587u-5, and GP02, within Huawei. The differences lie in their supported bands:
E587u-2: DC-HSPA+/HSPA+/HSPA/UMTS 2100/900MHz (except DC-HSPA+
900MHZ at the first stage), EDGE/GPRS/GSM 1900/1800/900/850 MHz;
E587u-5: DC-HSPA+/HSPA+/HSPA/UMTS 2100/1900/AWS/850 MHz,
EDGE/GPRS/GSM 1900/1800/900/850 MHz;
GP02: DC-HSPA+/HSPA+/HSPA/UMTS 2100/1700 MHz.
The E587 supports the following standards:
Dual Carrier High Speed PacketAccess plus (DC-HSPA+)
High Speed Packet Access Plus (HSPA+)
High Speed Uplink PacketAccess (HSUPA)
High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)
Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)
Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
Global System for Mobile communications (GSM)
The E587 provides the following services:
DC-HSPA+ packet data service of up to 43.2 Mbit/s
HSPA+ packet data service of up to 21.6 Mbit/s
HSPA (HSUPA/HSDPA)/UMTS packet data service of up to 14.4 Mbit/s
EDGE/GPRS packet data service of up to 236.8 Kbit/s
UMTS/GSM Short Message Service (SMS)
You can connect the E587 with the Wi-Fi, or connect the E587 with the USB interface
of a computer. In the service area of the
DC-HSPA+/HSPA+/HSPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS/GSM network, you can surf the
Internet and send/receive messages/emails cordlessly. The E587 is fast, reliable, and
easy to operate. Thus, mobile users can experience many new features and services
with the E587. These features and services will enable a large number of users to use
