UTStarcom Launches Mobile Broadband Connection Card
The successor to UTStarcom's PC5740, the PC5750 is a dual-band (800/1900 MHz) CDMA2000 1xEV-DO wireless Type II PC card that is designed to allow on-the-go laptop users to make secure wireless connections through their wireless carriers. Outfitted with high-speed EV-DO Revision A technology, the PC5750 is compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Mobile computer users can surf the Internet, download data or send and receive e-mails with large attachments at speeds of up to 3.1 Mbps. The PC5750 also has a memory capacity of 64 MB Flash / 32 MB RAM that is eight times greater than that of earlier UTStarcom mobile connectivity cards.
In addition to the high-speed advantages offered by the PC5750, the card employs a CDMA wireless technology authentication and identification security system, designed to help assure the integrity of mobile computing functions and data. The Mobile Identification Number (MIN) and Electronic Serial Number (ESN), together with CDMA spread technology, are designed to make it virtually impossible for unauthorized users to capture and decipher information.
"The PC5750 card is an ideal wireless solution for the mobile professional. The days of hunting for a Wi-Fi signal to connect to the Internet are over," said Philip Christopher, president of UTStarcom Personal Communications. "With the PC5750, you can establish a secure wireless connection wherever you find a regular wireless signal -- be it at home, in the office or on the go."
The PC5750 measures (h) 4.6" x (w) 2.1" x (d) 0.2", weighs only 1.8 ounces, and fits into standard PCMCIA slots found on laptop computers, making mobile computing more convenient and efficient. The PC5750 is a wireless broadband card which is designed to enable laptop users in North America to get wireless Internet connection anywhere at anytime (carrier dependent).
