Does anyone still use PCMCIA card slots anymore? Maybe we’re just techno-snobs, but we haven’t used a “PC-card” slot in ages. It’s all about USB and ExpressCard slots over here.
Regardless, there are bound to be older-laptop owners out there that are dying for a wireless broadband solution – especially one that doesn’t require an ugly, obtrusive USB dongle that runs the risk of killing your USB port every time the laptop slides around on your lap. Enter the NEC D02NE HSDPA PCMCIA CardBus II card.
The newest 3G data card offering from NEC rocks out to a maximum of 7.2 Mbps on UMTS networks outfitted with 7.2Mbps HSDPA protocols – which pretty much means it won’t be hitting any speed limits in the US. And in order for this 54x8x115 mm, 50g PC card to get all 7.2Mbps of data to your computer, the NEC D02NE HSDPA PC card is designed for 32-bit CardBus-enabled PCMCIA cards. Oh, and this one’s Windows-only.
