Choosing and Buying the Right USB Dongle/Modem
Proxidize requires the USB modems/dongles to be able to connect to the mobile carrier’s network from the SIM card in order to create your 3G/4G mobile proxies. Modems or dongles are practically small USB routers that connect directly to the carrier. The way Proxidize 4G mobile proxies work is by routing the proxy connection from a device connecting to the proxy to the mobile network and from there to the internet and back.
Proxidize supports more than 50 different 3G and 4G dongles/modems and even more modems are to be supported soon. Every Huawei Hilink and most ZTE dongles are supported.

Note: 3G modems are not recommended as they greatly affect the usability of your proxy as you often only get 10% to 30% of the advertised speed.
Selecting the Right Model for Your Country:
Please note when you order the hardware from us you won't have to worry about this as we will check all the bands in your country before shipping and send you the correct modem.
Different modem/dongle models support different cellular bands or frequencies using this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies), these are needed to allow multiple mobile carriers and different technologies (3G, 4G, etc.) to operate in the same geographical area, as each mobile carrier or cellular technology generally needs its own bands to run their network on, otherwise there will be interference.
Fortunately, most of the world uses the same bands except North and South America. If you buy a dongle/modem in Europe or in China it will work globally except in the Americas and the same is true for when buying a dongle/modem from the Americas where they won't work properly in the rest of the world.
The general global band distribution is the following:
In Europe, Africa, and all of Asia except China, you will need the Proxidize-153, Huawei E3372h-153 or E3372h-320 model.
In China, you will need the Huawei E3372h-607. This model will also work in Europe, Africa, and all of Asia.
In the Americas, you will need the Proxidize-510, E3372h-510 or E3372h-511 model.
