Verizon Wireless Intros AD3700 Global Mobile USB Modem
If you live in the UK but also need to travel everywhere around the world, you might want to have a Mobile Broadband USB modem that not only connects to local networks but features global connectivity as well. This is where the AD3700 comes in. The AD3700 Mobile Broadband USB modem is Verizon Wireless’ response to people who need to be connected no matter where they are in the world. Let us take a look at this interesting gadget, shall we?
Well, the AD3700 can connect to more than 175 destinations such as EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized), GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution), HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) and even UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System). Basically, wherever you may be, you will be connected no matter what network resides there.
All that users need is to activate the global feature on their Verizon Wireless account and they will be automatically forwarded to the fastest network available in order to receive the fastest Internet speed that is possible on that network. The device features the VZAccess Manager software that installs automatically and allows for easy management of connectivity, swivel hinge USB, is windows Vista/XP/2000 (who uses 2000 anymore?) compatible and weighs around 1.6 ounces.
With a two-year customer agreement on a Mobile Broadband plan, you’ll be paying 79.99 USD after a 50USD mail-in rebate. Pretty interesting stuff, don’t you think? Though I have to admit I would be more curious as to how much connecting from a different part of the world is going to cost. I mean, who wants to end up like someone I read about who paid a huge bundle of cash because he downloaded a movie in Mexico?
