we do all test for BE19 NIC now ,but need some time

Thank you so much - that’s wonderful news to hear! We all really appreciate your work. I’m excited about the new NIC and hopeful it will perform great with Wi-Fi 7 while resolving the shielding and noise issues. Do you think the BE19 will be available before the end of the year? Thanks again!

@sinovoip the tech sheet on androidpimp is not clear/correct…

can you please clarify what is the real port configuration especially the wan rj45/sfp combo? is the wan rj45 10gbit capable?

Hi @sinovoip

One question on my mind — what’s the purpose of having three slots for 5G modems when you can only use one modem per SIM to access the network?

My point is, is there any real advantage that would make having three modems appealing to buyers? For example, could three modems combine to deliver Trible or Double the network speed from a single SIM?

It’s not entirely impossible… but it’s also not very likely.

Hi,

You can read the instructions here. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.

And we have designed a heat sink that has a certain shielding effect

There are two applications:

Each module can be plugged into a SIM card from a different carrier. When used outdoors, if one carrier’s base station experiences connectivity issues, the networks of the other two carriers can continue to be used, significantly reducing the likelihood of network outages (this is for users who cannot tolerate network outages).
Link aggregation can be performed, combining the bandwidth of the three SIM cards to triple the connection speed (of course, this is not easy to implement in software and requires computer server support).

We already have many customers using these two applications.
