Availability should be w/c 18th Feb (subject to change).
With regards to the dongle compatibility, as you may be aware there are hundreds of USB dongles on the market and the mobile operators seem to delight in bringing out new models almost on a monthly basis. With so many legacy and
new devices to choose from it is really difficult to try and develop firmware for compatibility with all the different devices in the market.
We have therefore standardized on a range of unlocked USB dongles from Infinity Wireless (previously LM Technologies). The current IW021 HSPA+ unlocked modem works with the new 7800DXL and 7800VDOX, the current 7402X
range, and the soon to launch new fibre router, 6300NXL. The slightly older LM003 HSUPA USB dongle is also supported. We have also beta tested some unlocked 4G dongles, but as yet not sure when these will be available for
general purchase.
