CDMA Networks
The Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem operates over a
type of wireless network called CDMA (Code Division Multiple
Access). This network technology has many features beyond
providing a wireless link, such as Web Messaging, which
allows you to receive short messages using the Sprint Mobile
Broadband USB modem.
To use the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem, 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 Mobile Broadband USB modem
takes advantage of the high-speed CDMA 1xEV-DO network
and operates on the 800 to 1900 MHz frequency bands.
The Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem uses CDMA
1xEV-DO Rev A technology and is backwardly compatible
with currently deployed EV-DO Rev 0 and 1xRTT, enabling
real-time high-speed wireless access to email, the Internet, or
your company network. The device runs on most current
Windows-compatible laptop or desktop computers, and it
provides peak data transmission speeds of up to 3.1 megabits
per second (Mbps) on the downlink and up to 1.8 Mbps on
the uplink on EV-DO Rev A networks.
Note:
The Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem provides average
download speeds in EV-DO Rev. A coverage areas of 600-1400
kilobits per second (kbps) and average upload speeds of 350-
500 kbps. Average download speeds outside the EV-DO Rev. A
coverage area are 400-700 Kbps with average upload speeds
of 50-70 Kbps.
