Staying Connected anywhere with a Mobile Broadband Universal Modem

There is no doubt about it; with every year that passes this world of ours is going more and more mobile. More jobs are being made virtual every month as employers try to reduce office space and thereby their overall cost of staying in business and in the recession we are now experiencing reduced costs are king. As a matter of fact this latest economic downturn is only accelerating a trend that was already in place in which companies and individuals were going mobile.

What's helping this transition take place? Well for one thing the speed and power of the latest generation of laptops are now equal to that of the desktops and are able to do everything from spreadsheets to high-end gaming. Think about it for a moment, for under a $1,000.00 US you can own a great reliable laptop, have access to a mobile broadband account and a wireless broadband Modem that will provide you with your physical link to the internet. Additionally if you are a shrewd shopper, that pays attention to sales, you can probably accomplish all this for under $700.00 US.

So what are some of the benefits and features of the new wireless broadband cards? Read on and we will clear up some of it for you.

1. The new 3G and soon to be 4G mobile broadband cards provide fast, reliable and secure connections so you will never be out of touch with your business or loved ones no matter where you are. Oh that is of course dependent on your location at least having a cell signal.
2. The technology behind mobile broadband cards is becoming more amazing every year. There is actually a broadband card available now that will not only give you access to the internet, but will also allow up to 5 Wi-Fi enabled devices access as well and all this while you're carrying it around in your shirt pocket.
3. Depending on the mobile broadband card you choose it will be possible to have simultaneous uploads and downloads, a slot for up to a 32 GB Micro SD card enabling it to act as a USB storage device, access to GRPS, GSM and Edge networks worldwide and up to 7.2 Mbps download and 2.0 Mbps upload speeds. A lot of this again will be dependent on your carrier and signal strength.
4. This benefit/feature of owning a wireless broadband card is rapidly becoming my favorite. The broadband card manufacturers are increasingly catching on that the consumer likes their freedom and does not want to be tied to any single carrier because of equipment i.e. your cell phone will only function with your carrier. Manufacturers such as Sony and Huawei are turning out unlocked versions of air cards that will function with just about any network, just replace the SIM card and you're ready to roll. What's the benefit? Ok so you say you don't want to sign a 1 year contract with penalties. No problem! Buy an unlocked wireless broadband card; find the lowest cost highest quality provider and sign up for only the monthly contract. Now if in 6 months you find a better deal simply repeat the above process, it's as easy as that.

The Mobile Broadband Card industry has made phenomenal progress in allowing access to the Internet, and global communications to just about anyone who wants or needs it. So is it time for you to go mobile? Are you ready to cut the wires or stop looking for the nearest ISP (Internet Service Provider) office so you can have internet access? The choice is yours, the tools are available now.
