Your link does not lead to specific information about this device. However, I gather it is a LTE device, which is good because at least some are supported (whereas no WiMax devices are supported). Moreover, the promise of Linux and Mac 10.4+ compatibility seems a positive sign. But I can't find anything that flatly says it will work with FreeBSD. Have you considered a mobile (or base station) hotspot? Since these will connect with up to five wi-fi devices, and you can almost certainly find a dongle that will work with your ethernet card, maybe you should take a look at them.
It's a usb plugin cell modem for internet access. Before I go through the purchase and signup process I want to verify Freebsd has a driver that works with this 4G cell device.
