The successor to UTStarcom's hugely popular PC5740, the PC5750 is a
dual-band (800/1900 MHz) CDMA2000 1xEV-DO wireless Type II PC card that is
designed to allow on-the-go laptop users to make secure wireless
connections through their wireless carriers. Outfitted with high-speed
EV-DO Revision A technology, the PC5750 is compatible with Microsoft
Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Mobile computer users can surf the Internet,
download data or send and receive e-mails with large attachments at speeds
of up to 3.1 Mbps -- 30 percent faster than previously capable. The PC5750
also has a memory capacity of 64 MB Flash / 32 MB RAM that is eight times
greater than that of earlier UTStarcom mobile connectivity cards.
In addition to the high-speed advantages offered by the PC5750, the
card employs a CDMA wireless technology authentication and identification
security system, designed to help assure the integrity of mobile computing
functions and data. The Mobile Identification Number (MIN) and Electronic
Serial Number (ESN), together with CDMA spread technology, are designed to
make it virtually impossible for unauthorized users to capture and decipher
information.
"The PC5750 card is an ideal wireless solution for the mobile
professional. The days of hunting for a Wi-Fi signal to connect to the
Internet are over," said Philip Christopher, president of UTStarcom
Personal Communications. "With the PC5750, you can establish a secure
wireless connection wherever you find a regular wireless signal -- be it at
home, in the office or on the go."
The PC5750 measures (h) 4.6" x (w) 2.1" x (d) 0.2", weighs only 1.8
ounces, and fits into standard PCMCIA slots found on laptop computers,
making mobile computing more convenient and efficient. The PC5750 is a
wireless broadband card which is designed to enable laptop users in North
America to get wireless Internet connection anywhere at anytime (carrier
dependent).
