USB EVDO Modem
A USB modem (EVDO device) is a revolutionary new way to access
the Internet, while delivering the most advanced multimedia
streaming services and connectivity. Almost every laptop and
desktop has a USB port, so this provides you with the ability to
easily move your Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem from
platform to platform (laptop or desktop).
During Sprint connections, the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB
modem is a true USB EVDO modem, functioning just like
conventional modems. It has an advanced dual-band diversity
antenna system design that incorporates an external flip antenna,
maximizing data speed and performance, and allowing for
stronger network signal reception. Once installed and configured
for NDIS mode, the USB modem connects instantly to the CDMA
network with just a few mouse clicks. To surf the Web, you simply
connect the USB modem to a USB port, click a few buttons, and
launch your Internet browser. To access your company network,
you may need to launch an extranet client after you connect to the
CDMA network.
Tip: To optimize your settings for faster speeds and data
conservation when accessing your company network,
work in “Offline”mode and synchronize periodically to
send and receive company email. Do not use the Preview
Pane, and save or drag and drop attachments to a
desktop folder before opening them (rather than
double-clicking them in the email). For more detailed
information, see the Microsoft white paper located at:
