Does anybody know anything about the new Airband Connect service?
We are out of range of their normal fixed wireless service, but they are now offering this as an alternative. Talking to their (not very clued up technically) sales person today, I got as far as them describing it as "4G technology", with a better coverage footprint than their original fixed wireless. They didn't have any pictures or technical description of the kit, but it was described as like a small satellite dish about the size of a football.
I read that as basically just reselling somebody else's 4G, but packaged with a high gain antenna. We get a reasonable 4G signal from EE (Band 3, -91 dBm RSRP and -11 dB RSRQ) with a Poynting external antenna, so it doesn't seem to offer any additional benefits, but does anybody here use it?
