We can upgrade the house wifi modem to a newer model (that supports XLTE and carrier aggregation) without messing with the antennae (read: no need for a professional installation), so the total cost should be well under $1000 (probably $300 - $600 range depending on what hardware we decide on). EFTA00644637 At worse, we'd squeeze 50% more speed out of the VZW connection for the house will network. If the boss wants to pursuit this, I can (do my best to) manage the upgrade & installation with Brice and Feeney.

Randomly I picked up a client in the city that was in a similar situation -- hurricane Sandy knocked out their phone lines and Verizon isn't fixing them and their neighbors' landlord won't let Time Warner run through that building to get service to theirs -- so I set them up with a Verizon Wireless modem & router from Feeney Wireless similar to the one you've got there. Along the way I learned way more about VZW than I'd ever wanted. Specifically, their XLTE network is actually just LTE running over a faster band 4 spectrum (it allows faster data, but doesn't travel as far, thus they're running on dual bands in most locations). They also introduced something called "Carrier Aggregation", which allows a single device to open multiple connections to a tower's unused bandwidth thereby doubling the connection speed to the device. VZW rolled both of these out around the time I was there, so if I'm right, the Jetpack is likely to support both, while the Feeney Wireless modem doesn't support either. If this is the case, the jet packs will test in the mid 20s Mbps, while the wifi will max out in the low teens. EFTA00644638 The good news is that the upgraded FW modem that would support both XLTE & CA is only a couple hundred bucks and could be swapped for the old one without any real configuration changes. Pm pretty sure Jeffrey would want to upgrade, but before I suggest it to him, I'd like to have the speed tests to confirm that it will make a difference. Like I said, no rush. I'm sure you have much more urgent things on your plate.
