1.1 Basic Concepts
The Verizon 4G LTE Network
4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the latest standard for mobile Internet access and
offers superior connection speeds compared to 3G, the predecessor.
Your Home Network
Your home network consists of the following components:
 One HomeFusion Broadband Antenna (HBA)
 One HomeFusion Broadband Router (HBR)
 One or more network devices (computers, network printers and so on)
MoCA is a standard for home networking over a coax connection.
The HBA
The HBA is mounted on the side of the house and is the interface between the
Verizon 4G LTE Network and your MoCA devices.
The HBR
The HomeFusion Broadband Router is located in your home and is responsible for
interconnecting:
 WiFi devices (for example: portable computers, wireless printers, smartphones
with WiFi support and so on)
 Wired Ethernet devices (for example: computers).
 MoCA devices (for example: the HBA)
This means that all devices that are connected to the HBR will also have access to the
HBA, which in turn provides access to the Verizon 4G LTE Network.
The HomeFusion Broadband Router only supports 4G LTE to access the
Internet. It is not possible to fall back to 3G in the event of a temporary
service interruption of the 4G LTE network.
