Verizon Wireless today announced the Novatel V740 ExpressCard, the first card to operate on Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) technology.
The V740 ExpressCard runs faster and more efficiently on Rev. A technology. Customers can take advantage of upload speeds that are eight to nine times faster than that of Verizon Wireless' existing wireless broadband network, while interacting with Web-based applications with improved latency for a better customer experience.Customers using the Novatel V740 ExpressCard can expect average download speeds of 600 kbps to 1.4 Mbps and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps, which means customers can download a 1 MB email attachment - the equivalent of a small PowerPoint presentation or a large PDF file - in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds. Verizon Wireless customers can download files approximately ten times faster than customers of wireless service providers who use non-EV-DO technology. The Novatel V740 ExpressCard is designed for use in mobile computing notebooks that support the ExpressCard 34 and/or 54 interface, as well as USB 2.0, and functions with Windows (2000, XP, Vista) and Mac (10.4.8 or higher). The dual-band antenna system design incorporates a flip-up antenna, maximizing data speed performance and allowing for stronger network signal reception. The V740 ExpressCard also features a dual-color LED service status indicator for data throughput monitoring.
