LTE router usage.
 

Hello,

A friend uses a phone, connecting to a cell tower about 10
km distant, as an access point in Tanzania. According to
this map, there are LTE routers which work in N. America and
part of S. America and other routers which work elsewhere
in the world. http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

This TP-Link MR200 router works in Ghana.

I expect it to work in Tanzania as well. Can anyone confirm
or deny that? Will any router work throughout the world?
Or in N. America and Tanzania at least? Any additional
recommendations for a router?

The connection to the distant cell tower should be better if
one of the monopole antennas is replaced with a directional
antenna. Any recommendations for that?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

There are *many* LTE bands, you need to find a router which works with
the same band(s) used in the country you're interested in ...

This works very well. It also has external antennas, so if the signal is low, you can connect better antennas to improve the connection.
