Basically, JASA pack and unifi air coverage is the same, the only difference is Band allocation. Jasa to utilize band 5. It is written somewhere in the T&C agreement when u sign up for it, I've seen it. However, if u have the capability to lock band signal (rooted phone or modem), you can do that. Unifi air utilize band 40.

During my application unifi air, TM staff did not check may location. She just ask whether I am aware of the coverage or not. 1st I said I want to try to get sim only and modem(contract) later, but she told me that I would have to sign up new account for that (with another RM100 deposit). Then I just straight to get 24m contract for the Huawei B618 instead.

Hi, guys. Anyone ever connected to band 38 for unifi air? All the while I was just connected to band 5 and 40 but unifi air was written to support band 38.

Is it band 38 not exist practically for unifi air? Just wondering whether to take b618 or not as didn't support band 38. Appreciate if anyone can provide a feedback.

It will be helpful if someone can feedback the practical different on speed between tethering/hotspot with phone vs router like b618. All the while I am using my mate 10 pro but just wondering is it really a big different if I connect with router instead as phone network spec was better than b618 on paper.

Ok may try the trial option if available
See my coverage quite bad. Im using b525 because 618 not compatible?
Btw any suggestion how to improve my coverage? Thanks again

using b525 too.


Move around outdoor and try or change band 5 or 38
if bad, I suggest u try other telcos

The signal is too poor, not worth the money.

Other telco equally bad. With such poor signal still can get 22mbps with 57ms ping. Not sure flactuates or nor.
Band 38 same signal strength n speed. Urs doesnt look bad for "out of coverage" 4km. 4G+ somemore o.O. u use antenna?

wanna ask if my area got coverage for unifi mobile 4g but no coverage for unifi air, still can use unifi air?
or can i get a unifi prepaid to test the speed 1st before subscribing unifi air?

kesian my area only got streamyx haiz

same case as you

Go tmpoint ask if can trial? Or try unifi mobile

my mom has unifi mobile. she is getting the 4g lte signal.

went there before, wanna register for unifi air, was told no coverage for my area and not even let me try =(

Register sim only package, rm100 deposit and can cancel anytime, it will takes 90 days to get the refund. I just terminated my unifi air yesterday.

tried unifi bebas(free data first sign up, no cap one) it's using the same tower(the signal and speed tested), and speed/signal is the same, but of course, the router has better signal/speed coz mimo

It's expensive to build 2 separate towers for separate plan
do know that mobile only support band 5/38 is what I heard. but unifi air support band5/38/40

I suggest if ur mobile has decent speed 20+mbps, then just walk in and buy the RM79/no contract is the only way to find out

I am thinking to trial unifi air too, but they not seem to have simcard or device to loan user.
I have the 4G LTE router, I just need the sim-card to trial. Read the page and need RM100 deposit, kind of step back. Really hope they have trial simcard we can loan and later give back... With unifi mobile, i able to detect Band 40 and speed >34Mbps, anyway, the Unifi Air coverage map shown that area no coverage and car from coverage zone.

Unifi mobile coverage = Unifi air coverage.

I have tried before subscribing to Unifi Air. Although the sales person gave me warning due to coverage is not covered (about 2km away from actual coverage shown in website), I can confirm it should work. After getting the Unifi Air, both Unifi Mobile and Unifi Air shares the same LTE tower.

In my area for Bandar Sg Long, B40(2300) is strong while B5(850) is spotty.

With my signal status range:
RSRP -111 to -100
RSRQ -11 to -7
SINR 6 to 11

Able to get speed around 15Mbps to 30Mbps download speed and 1Mbps to 3Mbps upload speed.

FYI, I tried to strengthen the LTE signal by using "4G LTE" antenna 88dbi booster which is total failure as B618 has way much more stronger signal reception. That antenna only serves as outdoor antenna where "good signal reception" area is outside which is not suitable for your previous LTE router to be exposed to any weather conditions.

Anyone here using Unifi Air in Penang Island ?

If yes, can i borrow test at my house, i can pay little for the time.

buy unifi bebas RM10 and test
it's the same tower...

my mom has unifi mobile. Can test on that ?

yes

I'm confused ... I tried my unifi Air + modem at office (wanna use it instead of company wifi, or my mobile data) although not in the map coverage, it doesn't work although definitely got unifi mobile signal as my colleagues are using it.

Is your modem supported band 5/38/40? Your colleagues are phone might support one of the band while the modem doesn't.
For example, your area got band40 only, ur colleagues phone support band 40

but ur modem doesn't support band 40 = no-line

if your modem support band40 still no signal, then you need to login to the modem and change the band to 40
