Sagemcom F@st 3965 Air with embedded LTE Modem

Sagemcom announces a new home Gateway with embedded LTE Modem at CES2013.  After many deployments based on 2G and 3G technologies, Sagemcom announces its new mobile generation LTE Home Gateway. This new generation of products enables the operators to offer triple-play residential broadband services (Data, Voice and TV) via their mobile LTE network.

Based on Sagemcom know-how and expertise in the broadband terminals, the F@st 3965 Air is a high-added value home gateway offering all residential broadband services. The great variety of interfaces, such as Wi-Fi 802.11n dual band 2,4&5 GHz, USB ports, or the gigabit Ethernet routing allow to connect all the home network devices. Thanks to its proven software, the F@st 3965 Air is managed remotely, via TR069, or locally via a web interface. Support of DLNA and ability to store in the Cloud turn this device into a central multimedia server within the home.

 "The speed and coverage performance of LTE allows operators to offer residential services comparable to those offered on fixed lines. Sagemcom solutions provide the best of these two worlds", says Ahmed Selmani, Deputy CEO of Sagemcom Broadband.

 The F@st 3965 Air offers speeds up to 100 Mbps in LTE, or 42 Mbps in 3G, if the LTE network is not enabled. Two variants are available to cover all frequency bands and meet the needs of operators around the world.
