Product Features

F5521gw is flexible and automatically chooses the best data service available
in a particular location, whether it is HSPA Evolution, UMTS, EDGE or GPRS.
This is particularly useful for users roaming on several different networks.
As a quad-band device, F5521gw can operate globally. It automatically
chooses between UMTS band I, II, V, VI, or VIII. It is also a quad-band GSM
device, and can operate on GSM systems all over the world. Therefore, users
can use wireless communication from their host devices on all five continents,
in over 205 countries.
With the F5521gw Mobile Broadband Module installed in a host device, it is
always available for data transfer. Connection settings are automatically
configured based on the SIM card. The user simply clicks the "Connect" button
to make an Internet connection. Parameter settings suitable for many
networks are included and can be configured if needed to facilitate manual
configuration where required. A status screen and an icon in the notification
area enable users to check status information such as signal strength, to
perform common functions and to access help.
F5521gw has wide host device compatibility. It is designed to use the
integrated antennas in host devices. F5521gw supports the Microsoft
Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Linux, and Android operating systems. Since
the module is designed for host devices, it is better integrated and provides a
superior end-user experience compared to generically produced USB dongles
that need to work across multiple computing platforms.
Application developers may utilize F5521gw via the high level API.
The built-in GPS receiver provides positioning data compatible with most
commonly used positioning applications, to show the position on maps, trace
the route, or provide driving directions.
