4G SIM
The 4G SIM (Universal Integrated Circuit Card) is the smart card used in mobile data USB
modems and mobile phones. The 4G SIM ensures the integrity and security of all kinds of

LTE (Long Term Evolution)
LTE is the next-generation network beyond 3G. In addition to enabling fixed to mobile
migrations of Internet applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, music
downloading, mobile TV and many others, LTE networks will also provide the capacity to
support an explosion in demand for connectivity from a new generation of consumer
USB modems tailored to those new mobile applications.
eHRPD
Evolved High Rate Packet Data. eHRPD is a more evolutionary path to LTE while also allowing for
seamless service mobility - including seamless handover - between the eHRPD and LTE networks.
GMSS
Global Mode System Selection
Broadband
High-capacity, high-speed, transmission channel with a wider bandwidth than conventional
modem lines. Broadband channels can carry video, voice, and data simultaneously.
NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification)
NDIS is a Windows specification for how communication protocol programs (such as
TCP/IP) and network USB modem driver should communicate with each other.
