The Novatel S720 mobile Broadband Card is the first card of its type available in the US. The Type II PC card works on the existing Sprint Power Vision Network, and will allow users to maintain the card as Sprint upgrades its network to Rev. A. The new Merlin S720 will provide users DSL-like speeds for access to media files and applications.
Sprint (NYSE: S) and Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq:NVTL) today announced commercial availability of the country’s first EV-DO Revision A-capable device - the Novatel Wireless S720 Sprint Mobile Broadband Card. This milestone follows Sprint’s recent announcement that it will begin upgrading the Sprint Power Vision(SM) Network — the nation’s largest wireless broadband network currently covering more than 153 million people - to the faster EV-DO Revision A this year.
Designed for operation with compatible laptops as well as the soon-to-be-available Linksys Wireless G-Router for Mobile Broadband, the Merlin S720 will allow customers to connect to the Sprint Power Vision Network and remotely access audio, video and data applications at DSL-like speeds. The card operates on the current Sprint Power Vision Network and will support faster average download and upload speeds (450 -850 kbps and 300 - 400 kbps, respectively) of Sprint’s upgraded network when it becomes available. Sprint plans to begin its roll out of EV-DO Revision A during the fourth quarter of 2006 with coverage expected to reach more than 40 million people by year end. Ultimately, Sprint plans to reach more than 200 million people in the United States with mobile broadband data services in 220 major metropolitan areas by the end of 2006.
