1 Overview
1.1 Brief Introduction
R216 Mobile WiFi (hereinafter referred to as the R216) is a high-speed packet access
mobile hotspot. It is a multi-mode wireless terminal for SOHO (Small Office and Home
Office) and business professionals.
The R216 supports the following standards:
Long Term Evolution (LTE) FDD(Frequency Division Duplex)
Dual Carrier High Speed Packet Access Plus (DC-HSPA+)
High Speed Packet Access Plus (HSPA+)
High Speed Uplink Packet Access (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 R216 provides the following services:
LTE FDD packet data service
DC-HSPA+ packet data service
HSPA+ packet data service
HSPA/UMTS packet data service
EDGE/GPRS packet data service
Short Message Service (SMS)
You can connect the R216 with the USB interface of a computer, or connect the R216
with the Wi-Fi. In the service area of the LTE FDD/DC-HSPA+/HSPA+/HSPA/UMTS or
EDGE/GPRS/GSM network, you can surf the Internet and send/receive
messages/emails cordlessly. The R216 is fast, reliable, and easy to operate. Thus,
mobile users can experience many new features and services with the R216. These
