The Sprint PCS Connection Card operates over a type of wireless
network called CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access).

To use the Sprint PCS Connection Card, you need an account
that gives you access to a CDMA network.

Every CDMA network operates on one of three radio
frequency bands. Your Sprint PCS Connection Card PC-5740
leverages the high-speed CDMA 1xEV-DO nework and
operates on the 1900 MHz band.

The Sprint PCS Connection Card utilizes CDMA 1xEV-DO
technology enabling real-time high-speed wireless access to
email, the Internet, or your company network. The card runs
on most current Windows-compatible laptop or desktop
computers, and it provides data transmission of up to 2.4
Megabits per second (Mbps) (average speed of 300-800 kbps
before bandswidth optimization).

More information about CDMA networks is available on the CDMA
