Sprint Wireless Internet

Sprint has taken the steps needed to compete in tomorrow’s wireless internet market. They have correctly assumed that one of the major forces in wireless internet will be WiFi aircards, designed to function in a cell phone service carrier’s existing network. The Sprint PCS network is one of the most extensive in the country, so this was a logical next step.

What makes this all possible? AirCards, PCMCIA devices that plug-in to the side of your laptop, are designed to receive a data transfer signal from an external cell. Depending on your area, you are eligible for a number of different wireless internet speeds. Let’s talk a little about these different speeds, and what to expect in the future.

Wireless Broadband–It’s Here!

Sprint’s existing network works on GPRS technology, which is a data transfer band that allows speeds up to 56 Kbps. This speed is perfect to keep in email contact on your PDA phone. However, Sprint is updating their network and will soon rely on EVDO technology, which allows speeds of up to 700 Kbps. With that kind of transfer rate, you can send and receive pictures and even streaming video files with ease.

To capitalize on this trend, we offer Sprint wireless internet-compatible cards, namely the Sony Ericsson and Sierra Wireless AirCard. By plugging one of them into the side of your laptop, you can receive an internet signal from any location that receives a good digital Sprint signal. You can now browse the website from almost anywhere.
