Verizon 4G LTE Doesn't Work for Remote Applications
Update (1/27/2012): Verizon is now offering static IP's on 4G LTE for a $500 one time fee. For more details visit this article - Verizon 4G LTE Static IP Setup
Verizon
has officially launched their new VZ4G LTE network and despite a few
bugs the service has been pretty impressive so far. However, we've found
a major problem that could be a deal breaker IF you require a router to
run remote-based applications. The new LG VL600 and Pantech UML290
run a privately routed IP (10.) address that ONLY allows outbound
traffic - no inbound traffic can be passed through. This means that if
you have a need for remote access to a device, Verizon's new
3G/4G-capable devices will not allow you to access them like you could
with a 3G-only modem.
Inbound Traffic Examples:
If you have any need for any of the above examples, we HIGHLY recommend purchasing a 3G-only device like the MiFi 2200,
which allows a public facing IP. We have tried to test the Pantech
UML290 with a SlingBox and Aztec Camera system and it WILL NOT pass
inbound traffic or allow for any type of port forwarding. We
have heard from Verizon that they will be offering an option for a
Static IP to be added to their 3G/4G devices in February, however, we
don't know the cost or if the static IP will be public or private. After
speaking with Verizon this option may be made available for a one time
fee of $500 for a public facing IP address, but we won't know for sure
until the option is officially available. If you require 4G and remote
access Sprint and CLEAR are the only carriers to offer a solution.
For the time being, if you require 4G internet and remote access to applications, your only option would be Sprint 4G, which DOES work with these types of applications.
