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.

Appreciate your sharing. I have a Dlink 4G modem DWR-921 and in-use celcom prepaid as internet, which is fairly high cost when high usage. Did tried put in Unifi Bebas sim card into the 4G, and able to get speed like 20-30mbps. subscribed the Bebas 1 week RM20, throttle to 7-8mbps speed, but use experience and speed acceptable. Thinking to directly get the Unifi Air RM79 per month for unlimited quota. Might be go for no free modem plan since I have the Dlink DWR-921 that supported all band.

thank again for your info.
