Specicifcation	Value
North America CAT4 LTE Bands	2, 4, 5, 12, 3GPP release 10
Bandwidth	up to 150/50 Mbps Download/Upload
3G Fallback	UMTS/WCDMA bands 2/5, 3GPP release 8

VOXL-ACC-LTEH-DOD / World

The ModalLink system uses Band 3 modems to operate in the DOD’s 1800MHz spectrum. The same add-on board can be used for international use.

Specicifcation	Value
CAT4 LTE Band	1,2,3,5,7,8,20,28,38,40
Bandwidth	up to 150/50 Mbps Download/Upload

SIM Cards and Supported Networks

The modem card requires the use of a Nano SIM card.

AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile are supported. For Band 3 support, the VOXL-ACC-LTEH-DOD modem is requiered and Band 3 SIM cards need to be requested through ModalAI.

LEDs

Status LEDs

LED	Description
PWR	Illuminates GREEN when the board is powered
MODEM	Illuminates GREEN when the modem is powered
WWAN	Illuminates solid BLUE when connected to the network

USB LEDs

The Modem USB Power and USB Port Power LEDs illuminate green to indicate the USB bus and ports are powered
