services of the Internet. The PC3220 is a high performance card that enables you to both
send and receive data/email at maximum network rates.
Often times when using a dial-up connection, a "network busy" signal appears. That's
because there are "bottlenecks" slowing down the network. With the spread spectrum
technology of CDMA these frustrating bottlenecks are eliminated. In fact, CDMA technology
allows a network to handle more calls than competing digital technologies. Today, over 100
million consumers worldwide rely on CDMA technology for quality voice communications
and reliable, high-speed data.
What about privacy? The secure CDMA network is designed with digital coding that is
recognized only by the base station and unintelligible to eavesdroppers.
