510 PCS Modem
The AirCard 510 PCS modem is the first wireless CDMA (Code Division
Multiple Access) modem . It works in any laptop or handheld computer
running Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or CE that has a Type II PC card slot.
This modem offers high speed data transmission (14.4 Kbps) and all the
benefits of CDMA technology, including:
coverage that is wide-spread and growing. CDMA currently
encompasses most of North America, Asia, and Australia and is
spreading throughout other parts of the world.
●
continuous power control on the CDMA network means longer battery
life for your laptop.
●
CDMA uses "soft handoffs" between cells in the cellular network,
providing a robust air link and reliable service.
●
CDMA transmission is, by nature, extremely secure. Individual
transmissions are indiscernable to anyone tapping into a radio
frequency channel.
