4 Section 1A: Introducing the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card
Your Sprint Mobile Broadband Card
Your Sprint Mobile Broadband Card fits into a Type II PC Card
slot (available on most notebook PCs) and functions as a
wireless network card. This card allows you to:
䢇
Access your company network.
䢇
Send and receive email.
䢇
Access the Internet.
CDMA Networks
The Sprint Mobile Broadband Card operates over a type of
wireless network called CDMA (Code Division Multiple
Access). This network technology has many features beyond
providing a wireless link, such as Web Messaging, which
allows you to receive short messages using the Sprint Mobile
Broadband Card.
To use the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card, you need an
account that gives you access to a CDMA network.
Every CDMA network operates on one of three radio
frequency bands. Your Sprint Mobile Broadband Card by
Novatel Wireless, Inc. (EV-DO PC Card) takes advantage of the
high-speed CDMA 1xEV-DO network and operates on the
1900 MHz band.
The Sprint Mobile Broadband Card uses CDMA 1xEV-DO
technology that is backwardly compatible with 1xRTT,
enabling real-time high-speed wireless access to email, the
Internet, or your company network. The card runs on most
current Windows-compatible laptop or desktop computers,
and it provides data transmission of up to 2.4 megabits per
second (Mbps) (average speed of 300-800 kbps before
bandwidth optimization).
