The data card can provide upto 10 Wi-Fi enabled devices at the same time and allows a total number of 32 users with 31 Wi-Fi enabled devices and 1 on USB which could be your laptop or desktop.
The device runs on ALT3800 Processor and supports FDD - Band 3, Band 5, TDD - Band 40. The device comes equipped with 3000 mAh battery.
