MP880W Modem User Guide

Network connections

The MP modem operates over the following networks, with connectivity and speed dependent on your service provider and account:

High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA)—up to 2.0 megabits per second (Mbps)

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)—up to 384 kilobits per second (kbps)

Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE)—up to 236 kbps

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)—up to 56 kbps

Circuit switched (dial‐up) data connections

Once a connection is established, you can open your browser and connect to web sites and access other Internet services such as e‐mail.

Accounts and coverage

You must set up an account with a service provider for each MP modem you install. After installing the MP modem software, you must configure it to use an account.

The service provider supplies a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card—sometimes called a smart card or smart chip—for each account. The SIM card provides the MP modem’s identity on the network. It contains account information and must be inserted in the MP modem for the MP modem to operate. (See “Insert the SIM Card” on page 38.)

The ability of the MP modem to obtain service and the type of service obtained in any area is determined by several factors:

Network proximity and HSUPA availability To obtain service, you must be within the coverage area of a network operating in one of the radio frequency bands supported by the MP modem. The type of connection depends on the service available in that area. For example, there are areas with UMTS service in which HSUPA has not yet been implemented.

Roaming If you are within the coverage of a network operated by a different service provider, your ability to obtain service depends on whether a roaming agreement exists between your service provider and the one operating your current local network. There may be additional fees for roaming service. Contact your reseller or service provider for information.
