Sprint sub-3G Service to offer Novatel
Wireless PC Cards
Sprint PCS Group has entered
into an agreement with Novatel Wireless Inc. to co-brand and jointly
market Novatel’s PC cards as part of its advanced wireless
network.
The 3G1X compatible PC card will be available this summer in
conjunction with the nationwide launch of Sprint’s Third
Generation Wireless Network.
The PCS Connection Card will enable Sprint high-speed subscribers
to surf the Internet and access corporate applications such as
e-mail, calendars, and contact functions at data speeds of up to 144
kbps, with average speeds of 50 to 70 kbps.
Sources say Sprint will launch its CDMA2000 1X network across the
U.S. in August, as network upgrades and inventories of PC cards and
cell phones continue to be on schedule.

MobileInfo.com’s Comments & Advisory: We are
happy to see Novatel provide sub-3G (1xRTT) cards but we urge network
operators to reduce the prices of using the new network.
