Your PCS Connection Card

The PCS Connection Card utilizes CDMA technology enabling real-time 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 144 kilobytes per second (kbps). The PCS Connection Card also runs on Pocket PC 2000 and Pocket PC 2002. Windows 98 (SR2/SE), 2000, ME or XP, as well as a type II PC card (PCMCIA) slot are also required.

The Wireless Connection Manager Software allows you to monitor and control the operations of your card and it also provides you with limited diagnostic information for troubleshooting any difficulties you may encounter.
