The connectors look to be standard types for that application, however it might be worth contacting Solwise to ask them.

Huawei are one of the bigger mfrs of 3G devices, so it is probable that the version with that connector is the one you require.

Most of the MBB sticks are made by a company called Huwai, doesn't matter what network you are on.

But yeah, noticed this a while ago now, having he small antenna socket on the side. I would suggest taking a look at the manufacturer website and order direct from them if possible.

Its a pretty good thing in all honesty as it will boost your signal
