Introduction :
I am looking for something to replace my bulky Hame A100. Trying to avoid Huawei for MiFi due to having bad experience with gen1 Huawei MiFi previously and found this Sierra device which is famous on producing MiFi device.
Specifications:
Design :
A very slim and light deice, fit in any pocket without an issue. A very nice matte black on the body with a rubberized surface. The front screen is shiny black, I dare not remove the protective plastic as afraid this would scratch my new baby![tongue.gif]()

Software Interface :
Plenty of configuration and it is very easy to navigate. Plenty of configurations can be done including frequency configurations and etc. It even come with an Android or iOS App you can configure it using the app more easily. Standard features like usage monitoring, messaging, user blocking is there.

Performance :
Able to configure frequency to suit your needs.
It got amazing idle mode which the device only running on HSPA unlike usual modem would get to DC even on little usage. This device stay on HSPA until high volume and it takes a while if you are on battery power. Unfortunately, I can't test LTE as I am not in an LTE zone.

Battery :
You can set the WiFi transmit to suit your needs and save power. The screen can be disabled as well.
Amazing sleep ability which totally disable the WiFi if device left unused for a certain period, I tried forget to turn off and the next morning it is still working. It even works without battery. However, I found it can't switch between power source seamlessly, it need a reboot.
Under full charge, I am able to reach up to 6 hours on 3G with the 2000Mah battery.
