Please Help, need assistance to rent a LTE datacard. (sorry about english)

[pedroo84]

Hello, my name is Pedro I'm from Brazil and unfortunately I don't speak dutch.
I've found this forum and maybe some of you guys could help me out.

I'm a Journalist and I work for ESPN Brazil (a TV sports channel), next week I'm going to Munich for the UEFA Champions League Final, I'll be staying there for one week.

During the event coverage I'll be streaming live videos to a server based here in Brazil, and LTE would be the perfect solution to me.
I've used LTE in US before and it's simple outstanding technology.

When I go to US I always rent a LTE dongle from a company (wifirents.com) I've tried hard to find a similar company in germany that could rent me a LTE dongle or hotspot, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything.

So my question is:

Does any of you know where I can rent such service?
If not, could any one of you rent me your own LTE dongle?

I'll be needing:
Vodafone LTE 50mb/10mb upload dongle
For the period of:
14 of may to 20 of may (monday to sunday)
Where:
In Munich

Thank's in advance.

hi pedroo84,

you are welcome! Here in germany it is not possible to get 4G as prepaid or rent it. Prepaid for 3G is possible.

hi pedro, at first you'll have to check, if LTE is available at all in the place where you need it. we have 3 providers in germany, supporting LTE: Telekom T-Mobile, vodafone and o2 Germany. Next you should know, that the german LTE access is limited at Telekom and o2 Germany, only vodafone currently offers unlimited traffic/volume. When you've to stream videos, there'll surely be lots of traffic?! Then, like nota2225 said, currently there's no option, to get prepaid oder rental LTE contracts. But you can try to make contact directly to vodafone Germany or a vodafone-Shop in Munich and explain your situation, perhaps they'll know a way to help you to get, what you need.

Prepaid 3G/UMTS doesn't make sense because of the limitations here, when you've to stream lots of videos.

Hi Pedro,

like the other members already said, there is no possibility to rent such a MiFi device or dongle here in Germany. I have a LTE dongle and a 21,6MBit/s tariff. Are you sure that your hotel in Munich is covered with Vodafone LTE? You can find out here. If you are planning to stream right out of the stadium, it maybe doesn´t work because the coverage is too bad for a LTE dongle there.

If you have LTE coverage, please send me a personal message for further details if you´re interested, maybe i can rent my LTE router or LTE dongle to you.

Thank's every one for the answers, I'll be using the LTE on the streets, doing a few live streaming broadcasts from touristic places and other important landmarks, to show the atmosphere on the city during this week.
So my positions are quite flexible, except for the stadium, would be great to have coverage some where outside of the stadium.

I've sent a MP to Betamax, maybe he can help me.

Another thing, what's the average Upload Speed you guys get with LTE?

Thank you again.
