AT&T qualification tests help ensure that product manufacturers can confidently select chipsets that integrate with connected devices and can quickly achieve final product qualification.

"Validation with AT&T is an achievement that paves the way for NVIDIA Icera-powered LTE devices on the AT&T network through this year and next," said Stan Boland, senior vice president of Mobile Communications at NVIDIA.

The NVIDIA Icera 410 LTE modem delivers lightning-fast web browsing, video streaming and multiplayer gaming to tablets and clamshell devices. It is the first Icera modem to implement 4G LTE in NVIDIA's software defined radio baseband processor. Together with its multimode radio transceiver, the chipset offers 4G LTE at category 2 data rates (up to 50 Mbps) as well as 4G HSPA+, 3G and 2G compatibility.

Navy going 4G LTE


According to Cnet a few of our U.S. Navy ships will be getting their own 4G LTE network by the end of the year. They plan to put rugged 4G LTE networks on three ships to help with mission planning and communications. Service can be extended by 20 nautical miles and maintain speeds up to 300Mbps by using a microwave based wireless network. The increased data throughput will be ideal for transmitting real-time video feeds for military on the sea or land based missions. The first ships to get 4G LTE will be the U.S.S Kearsarge, U.S.S San Antonio and U.S.S Whidbey Island.

IPS Tracking via WiFi


Do you remember last years scandal when customers found out their iPhone's were tracking their every move? A new technology is now being developed called IPS (Indoor Positioning System), which allows pinpoint tracking by any WiFi enabled device. This means if you've got your smartphone, tablet or laptop with you and the WiFi is turned on you could be easily tracked down.

The concept behind the technology is designed to make your life easier by helping you find things like a restroom in a department store, or the departure gate at the airport. However, there will be a marketing spin allowing businesses to target you with deals and discounts from retailers after entering a shops threshold. The technology is still in its infancy, but may be moving in a similar direction as Path Intelligence, which designed cellphone tracking technology for mall applications.

Booster Antenna Works for Verizon & AT&T 4G LTE!


The 6" Booster Antenna has been one of 3Gstore's top-selling items year after year (in fact, it was the product that "started it all" for 3Gstore - the very first item we stocked seven years ago!), and for good reason: it's affordable, compact, portable, and it works very well at improving signal in fringe areas.

We recently did some tests, and we confirmed that despite the fact that the manufacturer's specs list the supported frequencies as starting at 800mhz, the Booster Antenna does indeed work for both Verizon and AT&T! We then confirmed with the manufacturer, who also confirmed that there was indeed gain on the 700mhz frequency; they had just never had any reason to test or confirm its effectiveness on that band before LTE devices came into existence in the USA!

Pepwave Surf Mini for CableWiFi Access


This week Bright House Networks, Cablevision, Comcast, Cox Communications and Time Warner have partnered to offer free WiFi to company subscribers. The service will be called "CableWiFi" (Also the SSID name). According to the Press release the participating cable operators currently offer more than 50,000 WiFi hotspots located in New York City and the surrounding Tri-State area, Los Angeles, Tampa, Orlando, and Philadelphia. The operators plan to continue to grow the number of WiFi hotspots and expand into several additional cities.

The CableWiFi network has both indoor and outdoor WiFi hotspots located in popular, high traffic locations, such as shopping districts, cafes, malls, arenas, restaurants, parks and beaches. If you find yourself outside the range of "CableWiFi" you can easily add a Pepwave Surf Mini, which will allow you to boost the WiFi signal so you can surf further from the hotspot. After the Pepwave finds the network all you need to do is enter your ISP credentials and you'll soon be able to take advantage of that free WiFi service away from home! This network extender is an easy way to share connectivity off a public hotspot so other family members or friends can also enjoy WiFi access.

Worked perfectly, had to set up on laptop with Verizon software to activate, purchased some time on the pay as you go plan, plugged it into the Cradlepoint MBR95 and it has worked perfectly unattended for several weeks in a remote video security system. Excellent signal strength in an area with 3 bars on an Verizon iPhone. I explained what I wanted to do and the people at 3Gstore.com game me the perfect solution. Note that I only needed 3G since 4G wasn't available, so this was a great choice.
