I took apart a Huawei E3372 LTE Modem, and this is what I saw. A jelly like substance on the electromagnetic shield.
It is very soft and a bit sticky. I guess it is there to dissipate the heat from the modem, since it couple well to the back enclosure of the modem.
What is this substance and what is the function?

It's a thermal pad. It performs the same function as thermal grease except that it's easier to apply but is slightly less effective.
