What is Mobile Broadband

A Mobile Broadband network, also known as a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN), provides Internet access to laptop computers, cell phones and other devices over a large geographic area. Mobile networks are used for data transmission, and access is usually provided by a mobile network operator.

The biggest advantage of Mobile Broadband is that it is accessible from anywhere you can get a signal from your carrier. Laptop computers with Mobile Broadband access can stay online on the move, and will not be tied down by a wired Internet connection.

Various standards are in use by mobile operators to provide Mobile Broadband service. Depending on the model, your Mobile Broadband module may support one or more of the following standards:

ƒGSM (Global System for Mobile Communications)

ƒTD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access)

ƒSCDMA (Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access)

ƒEV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized)

ƒHSPA (High Speed Packet Access)
