Question about the modem

[Ocean112]

Have the specs of the modem been released yet? The information I have been able to find on it has been a little sparse.

Will it support GSM bands 12, 2, and 4 (US Tmobile)?

It's the PLS8.
You can download the data sheet and have a look but basically yes, T-Mobile will be supported, at least physically it supports the right channels; there could be something weird that prevents it but I'm pretty confident.

Just fyi, the pls8-us does band 17 which is a subset of band 12. This does not include the new LTE 700 Mhz block A that is the majority of the new T-Mobile LTE network as far as I can tell. It does support the older bands though, so that's good.

That's a useful thing I wasn't aware of. Thanks!
