Sierra Wireless HSUPA-capable product line includes the AirCard 881 PCMCIA Card. The AirCard 881 offers tri-band UMTS/HSPA and quad-band GPRS/EDGE for global connectivity and worldwide roaming.
Use Your Exisiting Phone's SIM Card And Add Instant Internet Access To Your Compatible Laptop!! The AirCard 881 has a built-in SIM card slot that lets you use your own cell phone SIM card (or get a new SIM card from your provider for 100% dedicated usage). When you use your SIM card, you'll instantly get Internet connection features of your existing account, without paying for a separate account for your laptop. If your exisiting account supports 3G access, then you will also get it on The AirCard 881. Keep in mind, that with your SIM card in the AirCard 881, you will not be able to answer or make regular calls. But this is the best way possible to get wireless Internet, whenever you need it, without a dedicated account connection!
