Sierra Wireless is expanding its portfolio of USB modems with the addition of USB 306 and USB 307. Unlike their earlier devices, the new modems are designed to work on HSPA+ networks, supporting download speeds of 21 Mbps and upload speeds at 5.76 Mbps.
Specs wise, two modems are identical with only difference being in operating frequencies. The USB 306 is designed for North American and Asia-Pacific regions, operating on the 850, 1900 and 2100 MHz bands; while the USB 307 is slated for Europe, operating on the 900 and 2100 MHz bands.
As with other Sierra’s USB modems, these two also feature the company’s TRU-Install software that loads the device drivers and Sierra Wireless Watcher connection manager software onto the computer the first time the USB modem is plugged in. Additionally, both models boast a microSD memory card slot and both are expected to ship within the first half of this year.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
