What is a Wireless AirCard®?
A wireless AirCard® is a modem that provides online access using cellular technology versus telephone lines, cable, fiber optics or local area networks (LANs). The AirCard® form factor is made to slip into the ExpressCard or PC Card slot of a laptop computer. These wireless modems can also come with a USB adapter or connector to be used with desktops or with laptops that lack a PC Card slot. Cellular carriers provide Internet access to subscribing customers, requiring either a monthly plan for unlimited airtime or a pay-as-you go account. Internet access through a wireless AirCard® is more expensive than conventional plans, but it offers something standard technologies can’t. Using this technology you can get online anywhere that cellular service is available. The only restriction is that the area must be covered by your AirCard® carrier, either directly or through roaming contracts. In practical terms this increases flexibility, convenience and productivity. Jump on to your company’s
