Well, according to the ‘device details’ of the “soap-on-a-rope” 3.5G HSDPA modem that Vodafone is selling, it only works on the 2100MHz frequency for HSDPA. Meaning that it seems very like that Vodafone and Optus users will need to upgrade their mobile broadband USB devices – at a cost of $200-$300 – if they want to travel to rural and regional areas and use 3.5G broadband, given that Optus and Vodafone are building 900MHz 3.5G networks, and their existing devices don’t seem to have 900MHz 3.5G HSDPA compatibility today.
Telstra, whose prices are highest, have a nationwide network now, with USB devices that work at high speeds and on Telstra’s 850MHz 3.5G HSDPA frequency in almost any populated part of Australia, so no new modems need to be purchased – but you’re definitely paying big money in comparison for that convenience.
Back to 3. They now have three HSDPA-enabled mobile broadband devices, the 3 Mobile Broadband Internet Key, the 3 “soap-on-a-rope” Mobile Broadband USB and the 3 Mobile Broadband PC Express Card.
