2 in 1 Broadband Modem Card Available from Sprint: AirCard 402

Sprint Mobile Broadband is now offering the 2-in-1 Card by Sierra Wireless, the AirCard 402 .
The AirCard 402 supports PC

Broadband users who want to use the card slot on their laptop instead
of a USB port for mobile broadband connectivity.
The AirCard 402 is designed to work with both ExpressCard and PC Card slots, the AirCard 402 includes a locking 2-in-1 adapter to go from PC Card to ExpressCard slots with ease. It costs $99 with a two year contract and rebate.
The AirCard 402 includes high-performance GPS
capabilities for a quick and accurate fix on your location. With the
latest version of Sprint SmartView software, the AirCard 402 provides
access to desktop GPS applications and/or location-based services to
"locate and search" the nearest bank, restaurant or gas station. Simply

If you switch to a new laptop, the AirCard 402 will automatically begin the installation setup and you won't need to search for a setup CD. Hands-Free Activation will complete the setup by automatically activating the device on Sprint's Mobile Broadband network quickly and easily. Users will need to have the device's ESN on a Sprint account before starting the installation process.
- Sprint's Mobile Broadband Network: The Sprint AirCard 402 delivers the best possible performance a 3G network can offer. AirCard 402 owners will enjoy typical upload speeds of 350-500 Kbps with peak speeds of 1.8 Mbps and typical download speeds of 600 Kbps - 1.4 Mbps with peak speeds of 3.1 Mbps where EV-DO Revision A is available.

Its compact design takes away the worry of storage, breakage and unplugging; the AirCard 402 extends about an inch from the side of your notebook, allowing users to leave the card plugged in while on the go.
- Eye-Catching, Lighted Graphics: The AirCard 402 is the first card form factor from Sprint to incorporate a new and innovative lighted design. Plug the AirCard 402 into your laptop and watch the graphics light up. Passers-by will be sure to notice your device once it's lit and your ability to connect to broadband networks wirelessly.
