Tweet

With the proliferation of wireless high-speed Internet connectivity there really isn’t much reason that anyone should ever be without wireless access. The advent of the latest 3G high-speed broadband network protocol has given users even more reason to want to remain connected to their email and Twitter accounts and Verizon Wireless and their partner ZTE USA are here to help. Today they announced their latest USB modem for use on just about every available wireless broadband network around the world, the AD3700.

The AD3700 is essentially a Mobile Broadband USB modem with global connectivity. The consumer-friendly AD3700 gives customers access to high-speed networks in more than 175 destinations including Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM)/General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)/Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) and High Speed Packet Access (HSPA)/Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) wireless platforms.

The Verizon AD3700 runs on Verizon Wireless’ high-speed network, which uses EV-DO Revision A (Rev. A) technology and includes VZAccess Manager software for easy connection management and automatic installation. The unit measures 3.1×1.7×0.5-in (7.9×4.3×1.3-cm) and sports a nifty little swivel hinge USB connection that folds away when not in use. It is compatible with USB 2.0 and supports Windows Vista/XP/2000 OS.

Users simply activate the global feature on their Verizon Wireless account and the AD3700 automatically detects the local network and connects to the fastest Internet speed available from almost anywhere in the world.

The Verizon Wireless AD3700 USB modem is now available in all Verizon Wireless Communications Stores for $79.99 after a $50.00 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement on a Mobile Broadband plan. Customers will receive the rebate in the form of a debit card; upon receipt, customers may use the card as cash anywhere debit cards are accepted.
