Tech products manufacturing company LG Innotek from South Korea said it is developing a continuation of the mobile Wi-Fi router (MiFi) 4G LTE for Smartfren. According to the plan, this MiFi latest version not only supports 4G LTE connection category (Cat) 4 but also Cat 6 and Cat 9.



With technology Cat 6 and Cat 9, delivery of data (Internet) to a smart phone or tablet will be higher, but in terms of smart phones and tablets that are connected also supports Cat 6 and Cat 9.

"Product MiFi now (for) 4G LTE Cat 4, the next product to 4G LTE Cat 6 and Cat 9," said Jeremy Park, Chief Research Engineer / NS Development Team 2 Development Division 2 LG Innotek, at the center of research and development LG Innotek in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday (7/9).

Jeremy revealed the biggest difference of categories on the 4G LTE connection lies in the speed of download (download). Technology 4G LTE Cat 4 has a maximum download speed of up to 150 Mbps. While Cat 6 could reach double that, or 300 Mbps.

"While 4G LTE Cat 9 it can achieve download speeds of 450 Mbps," he said.

Unlike its predecessor, this new product will have a function as carrier aggregation or recombinant technology Time Division Duplex (TDD) and Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) to provide high speed Internet service.

This is possible because the devices are no longer being developed using Qualcomm MDM 9320 chip as its predecessor but the new Qualcomm chip serial MDM 9340.

Jeremy wants 4G LTE connection support device Cat 6 can be launched in March next year with operator Smartfren. Jeremy expect LG Innotek to supply at least a million devices MiFi 4G LTE Cat 6 to Indonesia.

"We have manufacturing facilities in Cikarang (Jawa Barat). So we will use the facilities in Cikarang it to production," he said.

Separately, Chief Brand Officer Smartfren, Roberto Saputra said they do not rule out the possibility for other vendors who want to offer similar devices.

Nevertheless, Roberto did not dismiss the strongest candidate device vendors supporting carrier aggregation technology 4G LTE Advanced is LG Innotek. Because the company 'brother' LG Electronics already has a large production capacity at the factory in Cikarang, West Java, and can meet the requirements of Domestic Content Level (DCL) for 4G LTE devices.

"The most powerful candidate for today is LG. In their capacity is okay, there's even support with a factory in Cikarang that capacity is big enough, "said Roberto.

According to him, there are some things that should be considered as an assessment of sinkronikasi product specifications, after sales service, quality and price.

"Later after LG Innotek enter the specifications and all sorts to us, we will benchmark and scoring again with all the vendors entering into Smartfren," said Roberto.
