Solved: Question about modems L5

Hardware Librem 5
1

Hello everyone, I researched the L5 modems (since I pre-ordered one). However I noticed strange information about the Gelmato PLS8-US. On the site that I will source, the bands supported by the modem differs from what Purism announced in these blogs (source cited). So I was wondering what is true?
For HSPA+(3G), Purism say the modem supports B2 / B4 / b5. However, my source says that it supports B1 / B2 / B4.
And as for LTE-FDD, Purism say the modem supports B2 / B4 / B5 / B17.

What about it?

Thanks everyone

If you have the device, trust your experience.

However. If you have a manufacturer of that chip trust them, instead of a 3erd Party side like everiythingrf.com …

If you are unsure, try to email puri.sm and ask them, or the chip developer. And be sure to send the hardware back if it will not work on your sim card in your country.

Thanks.

Speaking of modems, anyone noticed the use thereof on the Floppotron’s rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody?

Love the Floppytron. My Internet got hiccup’s and push a

“[youtube] ph5OW9p-GHM: Downloading webpage
ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden”

Message. Second try and it worked.

I know Computers in 2020 are no longer deterministic ;D

Notice on me do a small donation for the Floppytron. Its a shame that “they” give no concerts :slight_smile: and teach our Children about Sound and Airwaves and Programming.
