The AT&T USBConnect Lightning provides enhanced mobile broadband performance on the nation's fastest 3G network for quick and easy access to email, the Internet and business applications on your laptop while on the go. The combination of 3G mobile broadband speeds and EDGE national coverage provides an ideal mix of coverage and performance. The USBConnect Lightning connects to your laptop via the USB port, and it also includes a microSD memory card slot that's compatible with cards up to 32 GB in size. The USBConnect Lightning makes connecting in more places easier as it can be used at AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots (with a Wi-Fi enabled laptop and qualified data plan). Additionally, it offers global compatibility with DataConnect Global plans covering additional data usage in select roam zones in more than two dozen countries, including many European countries, India, China, South Korea and Japan. The USBConnect Lightning runs on AT&T's 3G High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) wireless network, which has upload speeds between 500 Kbps and 1.2 Mbps and enhanced download speeds ranging between 700 Kbps and 1.7 Mbps. The faster download speeds provide an optimal wireless Internet-browsing experience, and the faster upload speeds will enhance users' ability to send large files, such as e-mail with attachments, photos or business documents. AT&T is the first U.S. carrier to deploy enhanced upload speeds through High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) in its HSPA network. HSPA is the latest generation of mobile broadband technology based upon the global standard for wireless--GSM.

Accelerate at high speed with the first dual-mode shareable device of its kind-available only from Sprint. Now you can extend your 3G and 4G (4G Network available in select cities) experience beyond your laptop to any Wi-Fi-enabled device such as cameras, music players and portable game consoles. And because it supports up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices, you can share your high-speed connection with friends, family, co-workers and customers. 16 GB of shared storage and no software or activation to fuss with, the Overdrive is a must have for work or play, home or away. Compatible with Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000, Mac OS X, and Linux - and a plethora of wireless-enabled devices (laptops, iPod Touch, iPhone, wireless-enabled PDAs, gaming systems, etc). The 3G/4G Overdrive by Sierra Wireless has been a hot product - and a hot topic - since its debut on Sprint's network earlier this year. Like the uber-popular Novatel MiFi, which was the first 3G portable hotspot, the Overdrive combines the premise of an aircard and mobile broadband router in one convenient unit, allowing users to share their mobile broadband connection with multiple computers or other WiFi-enabled devices (hand-held gaming devices, iPhones, iPod Touch, etc etc). With its embedded 3G and 4G capabilities, Overdrive users can connect to both Sprint's nationwide EVDO Rev-A 3G network as well as the new 4G WiMAX network. In addition to the obvious benefit of being a dual-mode device, the Overdrive is packed with features and functions that make it a groundbreaking device: up to five users can connect via WiFi from up to 150 feet away (plus one additional computer can be directly connected via USB), there's a unique LED screen on the front of the unit that displays helpful status information and notices, a microSD slot allows you to use the unit as shared storage drive, its built-in battery provides up to 3 hours of usage time and recharges quickly, and the web admin is incredibly thorough and user configurable.
