| Axesstel Announces Sleek New Portable EV-DO Rev A USB Modems Axesstel has announced the MV100 Series of CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A USB Modems. Small enough to carry in a pocket, the sleek new MV100 series USB modems provide consumers and mobile professionals with fixed wireless and mobile access to email, the Internet and multimedia streaming at speeds up to 3.1 Mbps. The USB modem allows fixed wireless and mobile operators to increase average revenue per unit from data services by attracting subscribers needing broadband data access from home and while traveling. The MV100 series USB modems, including the MV110 (450 MHz) and MV140 (800/1900 MHz), address the demand from fixed wireless and mobile carriers for a terminal device that provides the flexibility of voice and broadband data access from a fixed or mobile environment. The MV100 series modems are designed with a USB connector to allow for connectivity to voice and broadband data from a desktop PC at a home or small office, or from a laptop, allowing mobile professionals to stay productive virtually anywhere, at any time while traveling. The MV100 Series is backward compatible to CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev 0 and CDMA2000 1X to ensure subscribers maintain high-speed connectivity in areas where a CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A network is not yet available. The dual-band (800/1900 MHz) functionality of the MV140 allows users to connect to networks worldwide. A USB cable, packaged with the device, allows users to position the modem away from the noisiness of the laptop to increase transmission gain, a performance not possible with dongle-type USB modems. An internal battery and receive diversity antennas further maximize data throughput and extend network coverage range from fringe areas. These design advantages allow operators to provide a better user experience and increase the number of subscribers that can be served by their network. Additional features of the Axesstel MV100 Series USB Modems include: - Voice and text messaging capability when connected to a laptop or desktop PC; - Personal information management functionality and synchronization with MS Outlook phonebook simplifies communications; - Compatibility with virtual private networks secures data transmissions; - Slim and compact design fits into a jacket pocket or brief case for easy portability; - Color LCD enables quick viewing of network coverage status without having to open modem manager software from the laptop. The MV140 is scheduled to be available for operator testing by the end of January. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
