Mobile Broadband Demystified
Good news today to all the folks living in Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
Thanks to good old Verizon Wireless, soon 3G mobile coverage (including broadband data) will be as “unparalleled” as in the rest of New England.
Verizon has just announced that they will be heavily investing in the region due to “rising demand for wireless voice, 3G Multimedia, and Internet access”.
Verizon has recently announced an addition to its Mobile Broadband Modems lineup. Manufactured by ZTE, the AD3700 features global connectivity. Up to June 2009, only AT&T could proudly advertise global mobile broadband connectivity due to their choice of global mobile network standard – GSM/UMTS/HSPA.
Verizon and Sprint, however, having built on CDMA/EvDO standard, could cover only North America, including USA and Canada.
Recent announcements from Verizon might change all that.
