Hi team,

I'm after a couple Mobile 3G hotspots (Not Huawei), that will work on as many cell networks as possible.  If they have battery backup, even better. 

Any ideas?

Was going to recommend the Vodafone R205 but it is a Huawei device ...

huawei e5756 which support dc-hspa+ if you not after LTE. else huawei e589 which support almost all LTE band standard but not really useful imo since LTE not widely available yet.

both models shld give u very decent 10 hrs connection time.

however, if u wanna avoid huawei then ur options will be very limited.

If your lucky, you might be able to get a quad band Netcom wireless hotspot from a Telecom Store.
