Product Overview

Speeds are dependent on network coverage. See your 3G/4G provider coverage maps for more
details. The total number of Wi-Fi users can also affect data speeds. Maximum wireless signal rate and
coverage values are derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specifications. Actual wireless
speed and coverage are dependent on network and environmental conditions included but not limited to
volume of network traffic, building materials and construction/layout.
