This network technology has many features beyond providing a wireless link, such as Web Messaging, which allows you to receive short messages using the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem.

To use the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem, you need an account that gives you access to a CDMA network.

Every CDMA network operates on one of three radio frequency bands. Your Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem takes advantage of the high-speed CDMA 1xEV-DO network and operates on the 800 to 1900 MHz frequency bands.

The Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem uses CDMA 1xEV-DO Rev A technology and is backwardly compatible with currently deployed EV-DO Rev 0 and 1xRTT, enabling real-time high-speed wireless access to email, the Internet, or your company network. The device runs on most current Windows-compatible laptop or desktop computers, and it provides peak data transmission speeds of up to 3.1 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and up to 1.8 Mbps on the uplink on EV-DO Rev A networks.

Note:

The Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem provides average download speeds in EV-DO Rev. A coverage areas of 600-1400 kilobits per second (kbps) and average upload speeds of 350- 500 kbps. Average download speeds outside the EV-DO Rev. A coverage area are 400-700 Kbps with average upload speeds of 50-70 Kbps.
