<\/a> <\/p>\nThe following test is based on my connection which is an HSDPA connection from Viva Telecom in Kuwait. According to the carrier, my subscription speed can reach up to 7.2 Mbps. I bought the device from Cameo store which is located in Hawalli, Kuwait, for 72KD. And it comes with various wiring options and a small how-to-get-started print.<\/p>\n

Speed Test<\/h2>\n
Here comes the speed testing in Salwa area, but keep in mind that lots of variables can game here. I just want to give you a sense on what this device is capable of. I\u2019m not doing a scientific or geekish connection test, I\u2019m just doing the regular method of quick speed testing for a regular web citizen to understand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n I\u2019m going to do the speed testing with both the Mifi 2352 and my old USB dongle Huawei E180 for comparison. I\u2019ll use the same sim card on both connections. Note that both devices supports up to HSPA speed, that\u2019s up to 7.2 Mbps for both devices and it\u2019s stated on the datasheets of both devices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I did both tests again and the result was:<\/p>\n Definitely there are differences in the performance of both devices. It seem that the USB dongle is faster on downloading. Again, this is a quick-test to have a sense of what to expect from the Mifi 2352. It\u2019s not a scientific test and it is not reliable testing method and I\u2019m doing this in uncontrollable testing environment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ll do more testing later and then I\u2019ll report back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Purchasing the Novatel Mifi 2352 is a procurement that I\u2019m never going to regret.

As you can see, it is connected by HSPA technology (HSDPA & HSUPA). I did the test to a server located in Washington DC by Speakeasy<\/a>. The first test of the Mifi 2352 resulted about 1.74Mbps download and 0.27Mbps upload. I switched back to the Huawei USB dongle and the tested result was 2.19 Mbps for download and 0.24Mbps for upload. <\/p>\n\n
