High-speed Sprint Wi-Fi card
p2pnet.net News:- Canada’s Sierra Wireless says its new Sprint PCS Connection Card will deliver high-speed Wi-Fi Net services to laptops once coverage is available from Sprint.
“Designed to operate on CDMA 1xEV-DO (Evolution, Data Optimized) and 1xRTT networks, the AirCard 580 by Sierra Wireless will support broadband-like speeds when Sprint launches EV-DO service later this year and is backwards compatible to 1xRTT speeds in areas where Sprint EV-DO coverage is not available,” it says.
The card will enable average user speeds of 300-500 kbps and peak rates of up to 2.4 Mbps in EV-DO coverage areas, promises the company, going on that for the moment, Sprint customers using the card can achieve speeds averaging 50 to 70 kbps, with peak speeds of up to 144 kbps.
The Sprint PCS Connection Card works with a laptop running Windows 2000, XP or Tablet XP and a PCMCIA Type II PC Card slot, “to remotely view graphic-intensive Internet sites, send and receive email with sizable attachments, and access other data-intensive corporate applications”.
