Wireless Broadband (Novatel, Sierra Wireless)

I’ve had a few problems with other blogs stealing our content without giving us any credit, so we are including this header in my future blogs.  

Sprint has announced the activation and release of the HTC Mogul firmware upgrade.  This will allow the Mogul to be the fastest data rate handset on the market today.  This software upgrade will make the device run at REV A speeds, about 30% faster download speeds and about 300% faster on upload speeds.  The real value of this is that it will allow the device to act as a modem at REV A speeds, something only available to broadband aircards before.  This is a great value from Sprint.

 The phone as a modem feature will cost the user $39.99 per month and includes the web access and email services.  In effect, for $25.00/month you can have high speed Internet access on your computer (provided you are not using the phone at the same time,  $15/month phone data plan + $25/month Phone as a modem).

It’s great to able to go anywhere and be connected.  I have the world as my office, and it’s much more beautiful than the standard grey cubes at most offices.  

This is a great value as Verizon and AT&T often charge premiums for this service.  Sprint provides it with the Blackberry data plan.  You get 2 great functions in one device.   Read the rest of this entry »

In general, speeds are rated for 500-800 Kpbs average download speeds and 400-700 Kpbs upload speeds with EVDO Rev A products.  Sprint will provide the fastest and broadest network speeds for your broadband aircard service.  Sprint is also the only carrier to annouce a migration to 4G WiMax service.

The Sierra Card we tested, AC595, Read the rest of this entry »
