Sierra Wireless Aircard 875u Review
Even though more and more laptop manufacturers are starting to add cellular network integration to their computers, there are still quite a few products out there that are lacking such support. For those of you out there who are looking to take advantage of high speed Internet practically anywhere, the Sierra Wireless Aircard-875u is for you. This is the device you want if you are looking to browse the Internet and check your mail at blazing speeds when others cannot even find a dialup 56k signal.
The Sierra Wireless Aircard-875u is available only from AT&T. If you’re already a member, you can pick this puppy up for anywhere between $300 and $400 dollars. Otherwise, new customers can nab this at the especially low price of $100 to $150. Now, this may seem pretty expensive, but read on to find out just why the Sierra Wireless Aircard-875u is worth every penny.
A masterpiece of stylish design and impressive functionality, the Sierra Wireless Aircard-875u is a USB 2.0 based cellular network connection device so it can be used on any computer – Mac or Windows, it doesn’t matter. While you will need Windows 2000 or higher to enjoy the blazing speeds offered by the Sierra Wireless Aircard-875u, most people are using XP or Vista anyway, so the transition to this device should be totally painless.
To justify the high price of the Sierra Wireless Aircard-875u, this device provides very high speed Internet access over the BroadbandConnect and EDGE networks. As a quad band GSM and tri band HSDPA device, it can be taken practically anywhere in the world and you can enjoy the same results. And what are those results? Think about how quickly you will be able to browse the web at 3.5 Mbit/s over the cellular networks. While AT&T’s high speed data transfer service doesn’t quite consume the entirety of America yet, it will very soon – making this the device to have if you love your internet.
Pros
-Uses BroadbandConnect and EDGE networks
-USB 2.0 instead of PC Card
-Mac and PC compatible
-3.6 Mbit/s connection speeds
Cons
-Expensive without a new AT&T contract
Overall
The Sierra Wireless Aircard-875u is the device to get if you enjoy browsing the Internet from an actual computer. While some swear by smartphones and PDAs, if you like to take your laptop with you on your travels, this is the wireless card to purchase.
