Verizon Wireless Launches the Sierra Wireless AirCard 595 PC Card for EV-DO Revision A Networks The AirCard 595 PC card is fully compatible with Verizon Wireless' current EV-DO and CDMA 1X networks	By Sorin Trusca, Communications News Editor 18th of December 2006, 14:36 GMT Adjust text size:


Verizon Wireless and Sierra Wireless announced the availability of the Sierra Wireless AirCard 595 PC card for EV-DO Revision A networks for use with Verizon's BroadbandAccess service. This is the first EV-DO Revision A- compatible PC card to launch on the Verizon Wireless network, and it's available on-line and through the Verizon Wireless sales channels. EV-DO Revision A, an enhancement to Verizon Wireless' current EV-DO network, will offer improved data speeds, particularly useful for users sending large files like presentations or photos over their wireless connection. The transfer rates reach up to 3.1 Mbps on the downlink and 1.8 Mbps on the uplink. The AirCard 595 PC card is also fully compatible with Verizon Wireless' current EV-DO and CDMA 1X networks, so customers purchasing the card will be able to take advantage of the benefits of Revision A when it becomes available. A simple over-the-air download will expand the capabilities of the card to accommodate Rev A speeds. "We are pleased to collaborate again with Verizon Wireless in delivering the newest EV-DO technology to its customers," said Dan Schieler, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales for Sierra Wireless. "EV-DO Revision A promises significant benefits to mobile data customers - enabling new applications that involve the creation of higher bandwidth content on the laptop and sending it to colleagues or clients while mobile. With the AirCard 595 card, Verizon Wireless customers will be able to take full advantage of the new technology as soon as it is available." The AirCard 595 PC card is available for a price of $99.99 after a $50 rebate and with a two year subscription.
