Mobile broadband USB modem
A mobile broadband USB modem is a small device that plugs into the USB port of a laptop or PC to provide wireless broadband connectivity on the go.
Ideal for those who want a quick and easy solution to having mobile broadband on their laptop or netbook as there is no need for a power cable and the software loads itself on first use. A microSD card slot is also embedded into the modem, which supports secure data storage of up to 8GB (microSD card is not supplied).
