Hi All.

Was wondering if anyone had use a Huawei 4G usb dongle in a checkpoint appliance before ?

Apparently it worked in R77 days but not since R80 ?

I've not seen or heard of this being done outside the SMB models on R77.

Only the SMB appliances have ever supported 4G/LTE cellular modems (I.e. those which run Embedded Gaia).
In the current SMB appliances, you have to buy one with an embedded LTE modem.
The non-SMB appliances have never supported these USB modems.

There is always a question about official support. Can you clarify this, @Haris_Chaudhry ?
