UPDATE: 2107 DataSim does not exist anymore.

We shifted the SIM card in one of our industrial LTE Routers and we could connect right away.

As stated by DataSim we got the +- 284 kbps download speed.

Faceboock and Email are working at acceptable speed.

Youtube and naughty websites are blocked.

So for those who only do email and a bit of internet surfing and who want (or need) to be Telkom landline independent it is an OK package for R 169.00 per month. No contract.

Progressive City Sightseeing owner Claus Tworeck wants to offer internet connectivity on his Cape Town

Tourist Bus Tours. A great add on for the guests riding on the busses. It enables them to connect to

the internet whilst on the move through Cape Town.

MobileWiFi installed their 2 sim card industrial router to find out how well the system performs.

The Router is fitted with a MTN sim card and a Vodacom sim card. The router switches automatically between

the sims as coverage requires it.

In a first test speeds of up to 77 Mbps were experienced.

This second test shall provide more information about coverage, user behaviour, data usage, performance and reliability.

We will keep you updated – MobileWiFi – connected anywhere !

Router Functions and Characteristics

Due to its high manufacturing quality the router is especially suitable for use in industrial environments and vehicles. An important thing to note is its extremely high reliability due to the use of two SIM cards (dual SIM support) and the the intelligent backup management of the VPN router. This guarantees almost 100% availability.

Temperature range and solid build makes this router perfect for the use in a Bus/Coach.

The fully implemented IPSec and OpenVPN standard, guarantee the highest security during transmission of data. The authentication can be made either using deposited certificates or pre-shared keys. All modern encryption algorithms such as 3DES or AES with up to 256 bit encryption length are supported.

The 4G router can also  be easily integrated into a company network (via permanently established VPN tunnel) and can also be accessed via private IP addressing. In this case DynDNS is not necessary, but it can be established at any time. Terminal equipment is connected using two Ethernet ports.

To make your network secure from attacks a configurable high security firewall with intrusion detection is available. This can be supplemented by the possibility of depositing your own scripts and rules. The so-called Pearl Scripting Interpreter offers the possibility for your own individual software installation on the VPN router.

The transmission of video data must be highlighted, a special buffer-management as well as an optional extended memory are used to transfer the data-stream quickly and smoothly.

Using one of the Ethernet ports the router can be connected to a fixed point via a DSL modem. The backup management is implemented using 3G/4G.

The 3G and also 4G radio connection is made using a multi-band modem LTE/HSPA+/HSDPA/HSUPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS.

Using LTE you have an even larger bandwidth available on the VPN router.

For configuration, it comes with a user-friendly a web interface. Hence, the VPN router can be locally or remotely configured.Experts can also configure the VPN router using a CLI (command line interface), and it can even be accessed and even send commands via SMS texts (e.g. Reset).

Fast internet without Telkom being involved finally is a reality.

We tested the Afrihost mobile Data offer with a Huawei E5756.

The order and delivery is easy and straight forward. The Sim card arrived within 48 hours.
The delivery company MDS keeps you updated via email about your delivery status.
So let us put the sim card in the E5756 which is 4G unit with possible speed up to 43.2 Mbps.
The setup is easy. One only needs to set the APN to ‘Afrihost’ … Done … Online.

Let’s surf. And we do !The speed is awesome we got over 15 Mbps.

There you have it. Mobile data beats any ADSL speed.

Pity that mobile data is very expensive. 1 GB sets you back by 99 Rand.
Hopefully European standards will come soon to South Africa. There mobile flat rates start at 100 R per month.
