Introducing the AirCard® 755 Wireless Network Card
•
Proximity to a GPRS/GSM network—You must be within
the coverage area of a GSM network on which GPRS has
been implemented, in order to use the AirCard.
•
Service provider—If you are within the coverage area of a
network that is not operated by your own service
provider, you can only obtain service if there is a roaming
agreement between your service provider and the network
operator.
•
Account provisions—Your account may restrict your
usage to certain networks or limit the amount of time you
can use the network.
Most service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.
AirCard software
The AirCard comes with this software (made by Sierra
Wireless, Inc.):
•
The Watcher program that you use to manage the AirCard
and monitor your connections
•
The driver software that forms the interface between the
network card and your Windows operating system
•
For notebook PCs only, the Network Adapter Manager
software that allows you to switch between the AirCard
and other network cards
