Product Information

HomeFi is an almost unique product that could appeal to a variety of different people. It’s not aiming to directly compete with standard home broadband, but rather to offer a more flexible, simple and affordable alternative as a short-term option or to those who don’t want a landline or can’t get speedy wired internet.

Technical References Standards and Communication Protocols Standards and Communication Protocols of the Product When the IPv6 only (CLAT) function is enabled, NAT-based functions (like DMZ/Port Forwarding/Port tigger) cannot be used. Three HomeFi is internet for people who don’t want or can’t get wired broadband for their home or office. It’s also sometimes known as Three Home Broadband. HomeFi enables you to connect up to 32 devices simultaneously at a distance of up to 250 metres over WiFi, so unless you have the smartest of smart homes or live in a mansion, you’ll probably be able to get everything online. Having said that, the likes of the Three 4G Hub(B535)and Huawei AI Cube both allow up to 64 simultaneous connections, so for peace of mind they might be a better choice.Web-based management: You can configure the B311-221 and modify and view the configuration of the B311-221. That’s far less than most traditional broadband services (at least once you factor in line rental, which isn’t needed here). Latency is also lower on fibre broadband with pings expected around 20ms, while on 4G mobile broadband they are nearer to 50ms. So gamers who play fast-paced multiplayer games online should bear this, although 50ms pings are still very reasonable and extremely playable. Three 4G Hub and 5G Hub The HUAWEI LTE CPE B311-221 is a Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless gateway for multiple users in household or small office environments. It enables users to access the Internet.

The B311-221's LAN/WAN port can be connected to a wall-mounted Ethernet port using a network cable. IP routing protocol and NAT: The B311-221 has high-speed routing capability. With the built-in NAT, the B311-221, together with LTE terminals, can provide flexible broadband access solutions and networking schemes. The B311-221 is a household wireless broadband access product designed for use in scenarios with relatively few network access devices and relatively low network reliability requirements, such as homes or small office and home offices (SOHOs). That’s only offered by Virgin Media and isn’t available everywhere – many suppliers are far, far slower. Indeed, there are some areas where it’s only possible to get slow fixed broadband speeds – for example if you’re somewhere where fibre isn’t offered, in which case HomeFi could actually be faster if you have good Three signal.

Figure 3-1 Accessing the Internet through a mobile network Accessing the Internet through an Ethernet Network The B311-221 supports L2TP/PPTP/IPsec VPN pass-through for the LAN side device. The LAN side device can create a VPN tunnel to the VPN server. The B311-221 supports Operator maintenance through the TR-069. Operator remote manages the CPE software update/parameters configuration via TR-069.

The B311-221 supports 3GPP Release 9 with UE downlink/uplink category 4. The supported service functions are as follows:LAN access function: One 10/100/1000 Mbps high-speed Ethernet ports are provided at the LAN side. The B311-221 provides the switching function for local networking and sharing of the broadband network when it is connected to terminal devices. The B311-221 supports the establishment and maintenance of three APNs. These three APN connections isolate data, voice, and remote management services on an operator's network. The Wi-Fi indicator flashes slowly when the router detects a HiLink device. Press the WPS button to connect the HiLink device to the router's Wi-Fi. The HomeFi is simple to set up though, as discussed above, and as with the rival devices mentioned above you don’t need a home landline to use it, potentially saving you a lot of money vs conventional broadband, not to mention the annoyance of having cables trailing around. The B311-221 supports the HOTA feature, which allows users to remotely update the device firmware through the HOTA server. System Structure and Scenario Constraints System Architecture
