Verizon launches the AD3700 Mobile Broadband USB modem handy for those trotting the globe. It offers connectivity in more than 175 destinations, is designed on a swivel for easier plug-in and uses Verizon's EvDO Rev. A technology.
Traveling Verizon Wireless customers no longer
need fret about the quality, or existence, of Wi-Fi in hotels rooms, airports
and beyond, according to Verizon. On Aug. 13 Verizon and ZTE USA introduced the AD3700 Mobile Broadband USB
modem with global connectivity.
The AD3700 offers high-speed online access in more than 175 "destinations"
via Verizon's EvDO (Evolution Data Optimized) Rev. A technology. Compatible
wireless platforms including GSM, GPRS, HSPA and UMTS (Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System).
The modem, which is black with a rounded red outline, measures 3.1 by 1.7 by
0.5 inches, weighs 1.6 ounces and features a swivel hinge, making it easier to
plug into a USB 2.0 slot in some instances.
The modem comes with VZAccess Manager software for managing connections and
installation. Once users activate the "global feature" on their Verizon
Wireless accounts, explains the carrier, the AD3700 will detect the fastest
available network.
According to Verizon, this travel helper is now in stores for $79.99 after a
$50.00 mail-in rebate and with a new two-year contract.
Like
Sprint, Verizon offers the Novatel
Wireless MiFi 2200, which uses mobile broadband to create a Wi-Fi cloud for
up to five users.
