The Device - Huawei E220 HSDPA USB Modem
Simple and versatile, just plug the USB modem into any laptop or desktop computer. You can swap between computers, so you’ll be wireless at home, in the office, or when you’re out and about.
No Modem Slot Required
Your USB Modem can be used on any USB equipped computer and is perfect if your laptop or desktop computer does not have a compatible Data Card (Type II – PCMCIA or ExpressCard/34) slot.
Work with a seamless connection
Work on the go without having to manually change connections. Wherever you move across our GSM & 3G/HSDPA networks your computer will automatically update and seamlessly choose the best connection. So instead of being limited to the one area, you can roam in the same way you would with your mobile phone.
Great Roaming Coverage
Experience the convenience of being able to access the internet at broadband speeds via the Optus 3G/HSDPA network throughout Australia or when you’re overseas in one of our partner roaming countries. When roaming on a partner’s network, service and speeds available will vary and access may not be at broadband speeds.
