More specifically, Telstra says the new cards provide typical download speeds averaging 550kbps to 3Mbps. Existing Next G devices manufactured by Sierra Wireless, Maxon and ZTE, will be able to support the higher speeds with "an easy upgrade over the Internet," according to Telstra. (The earliest Next G cards were made by Option). The new devices are from Sierra Wireless and are known as the AirCard 880E (ExpressCard) and AirCard 880U (USB). They are compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Vista and Mac OS X 10.4 or later.{moscomment} |
