Mobile Broadband Network (or Wireless Wide Area
Network)
Much like a WLAN, a Mobile Broadband network (also known as a WWAN) is a series of interconnected
computers that communicate with each other through wireless technology. However, a Mobile
Broadband network uses cellular technology and therefore provides Internet access in the same varied
locations from which cellular telephone service is available. Your computer can maintain the Mobile
Broadband network connection regardless of its physical location, as long as the computer remains in
the service area of your cellular service provider.
What You Need to Establish a Mobile Broadband Network
Connection
NOTE:
Depending on your computer, you can use either a Mobile Broadband ExpressCard or
Mini-Card, but not both, to establish a Mobile Broadband network connection.
NOTE:
Mobile Broadband cards may not be available in certain
regions.
To set up a Mobile Broadband network connection, you need:
●
A Mobile Broadband ExpressCard or Mini-Card (depending on your computer's configuration)
NOTE:
For instructions on using ExpressCards, see
●
Activated Mobile Broadband ExpressCard or activated Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) for your
service provider
●
The Dell Mobile Broadband Card Utility (already installed on your computer if you purchased the
card when you purchased your computer, or on the CD that accompanied your card if
purchased separately from your computer)
