One of Peplinks competitors has a feature in their routers that allows Sims to intelligently choose a frequency to get the best performance.
When sim one is connected to Band 3, sim 2, 3, and 4 cannot connect to this frequency, hence they will connect to a different provider, therefore bonding can take place (bonding several sims to the same celltower on the same frequency does not work in the Netherlands and possibly other countries).
This would be a great feature to have in Peplink multicellular routers.
Ideally, there would be an option to choose between automatic speedfusion bandwidth selection or manual, for applications where you would use directional antennas to point to different towers you would want to be able to use the same frequency if needed on multiple modems.
Hello @richardfccbv,
From our field tests of LTEA chip-sets used by Peplink, in Australia the LTEA chip set already does this to some extent, are you possibly using the older LTE chip set models?
In Australia we have three carriers, and they do not share the same frequencies in any one location and normally do not share towers either(they may co-share a tower, though not radio channels and normally have independent back-haul). So if we want to do this we use a MAX HD2, or MAX Transit DUO where there are two cellular modems and then we set the modems up to operate to the carrier frequencies of the separate carriers (SIMs).
You can if you really wanted to on the LTE version (and also on the LTEA versions), use a MAX HD2 with two SIMs from the same carrier and just elect what frequencies you want to use.
Happy to Help,
Marcus
