Hi Jason, That is similar to sierra 7304 which is not supported by routerOSv6 in LTE mode, and so can only be used in ppp config which apparently limits total throughput to something in the order of around 28mbps. We received confirmation from MikroTik at the time we were testing (several months ago) that it was a known issue and would require new kernel upgrade to overcome it - i.e. routerOSv7 Since it is highly unusual to get any actual throughput greater than about 28mbps on any mobile network that I have ever used (around Geelong especially ;) I've not been able to actually confirm it empirically, so I've just taken their word for it :-} So I suspect that you may be seeing the same thing with your module, in which case behaviour may change when v7 arrives. Cheers, Mike.

I am testing a new model 700MHz/B28 Mini PCIe module in an RB411 at the moment. I won't say what as it's not on the market yet. After a bit of mucking about I have it working on the faux serial (USB) PPP interface, it doesn't support CDC ethernet (aka LTE) modes.
I've not used any other modules such as the Sierra units. What speeds have been achieved with Mikrotik and other LTE USB modules on Speedtest.net? I'll try my MF823 to compare later.

Hi All, Has anyone had any success with any LTE cards that support band 28 (Telstra's 700Mhz band) with Mikrotik equipment. Im toying around with the idea of putting a hotspot on board an aircraft and you really cant beat the range of Telstra's new band and before anyone says anything about mobile phones on board aircraft I understand the laws and responsibility here. Im a licensed pilot. I already have an Iridium hotspot on board but 2400BPS is not very useful for anything other them SMS and the IPAD does an amazing job on band 28 in 90% of the time but im trying to get an extra 8~9 %
Matt.
