Super 3G Data Speeds with HSDPA
Browsing the internet is not a problem with the superb Vodafone 3G USB Modem. Whatever your requirements are, the Vodafone 3G USB Modem has the speed to satisfy. You can enjoy super fast 3G speeds of up 384 kps with the Vodafone 3G USB Modem.
The Vodafone 3G USB Modem also supports HSDPA mobile broadband. This fantastic new technology will allow you to enjoy data speeds at an amazing 1.8 MBit/s or 3.6 MBit/s in downlink. This is a significantly faster then 3G and proves to be the ultimate mobile broad band internet experience!
Stay Connected
Mobile Connect takes advantage of Vodafone's 3G HSDPA network, offering connection speeds that are up to seven times faster than a 56k modem dial-up connection. If you find yourself in an area without 3G coverage, it'll keep you connected by switching automatically to the well-established GPRS data service. In both cases, you'll be able to:
- access internet-based email accounts
- browse any web page
- send and receive text messages
- chat using instant messages
- connect to business networks using secure VPN
Business Benefits
Using Vodafone's 3G USB Modem gives you self-contained internet and email access on your laptop, without the need for any specialised technical knowledge. Large email attachments can be downloaded quickly and easily, making mobile working a practical reality.
You can even stay connected whenever you want, because you'll only pay for the amount of data you send and receive. Quite simply, it means that you can work from out of the office without compromising. There's no searching for a telephone socket and there are no embarrassing snail-paced downloads.
If your business already provides staff with secure remote access to email and files on your computer network, it's likely that you can offer the same services using a Mobile Connect datacard without needing any additional hardware or software.
Triple Band
The Vodafone 3G USB Modem is a triple band device, which means as well as operating on 3G networks it can roam onto GSM900 and GSM1800 networks in over 150 countries world-wide. (Please check first as
3G and GPRS roaming is not available in all countries).
Roaming charges apply. An antenna connector means you can plug in external aerial if you regularly find yourself in fringe coverage.
Coverage
Vodafone 3G HSDPA is a brand new technology and
3G coverage is available in key towns and cities. Coverage is continually being extended but is currently available to over 60% of the UK population. When outside of a Vodafone 3G HSDPA area, your data card will automatically switch to GPRS which covers 99% of the UK population.
GPRS
GPRS is an "always on" Mobile Internet service that is typically 2 to 3 times faster than traditional GSM data. Effectively being online continuously, there is no delay due to dialling up to your service provider and GPRS technology means that you are only charged by the amount of data you transfer, not how long you are online for.
