network cards
The AirCard 800 Series 3G wireless network cards are modems
for your PC that allow you to connect to the Internet, send and
receive e‐mail, connect to a corporate network/VPN, or view
streaming video, without the need of a network cable or phone
line.
The AirCard PC Card modem (AirCard 850 / 860 / 875 / 88x)
fits into a standard (Type II) PC Card slot available on
notebook PCs.
The AirCard Express Card modem (AirCard 88xE) fits into a
standard Express Card‐34 slot available on notebook PCs.

Services supported

The services supported on your AirCard modem depends on
the model of AirCard (see www.sierrawireless.com for details)
and your service provider.
When establishing a connection, your AirCard modem uses
the fastest available service. If, for example, you are using an
AirCard modem in an area that has GPRS and EDGE service
but not UMTS or HSDPA service, the AirCard modem
connects using EDGE service.
Once the connection is established, you have access to all
Internet services.
