This is the single most significant wireless innovation since the introduction of the Blackberry. It takes more than a gadget these days to get my sincere attention but this is a killer business device that no laptop user should be without. Exclusively from Rogers the Ovation USB Mobile Broadband modems. These are truly as simple as plug in and connect. No software to load with full support for Windows XP, Mac OS X, and Vista (yes, even 64 bit Vista).
So here is what it is: much the same way you would plug in a USB flash drive you can plug this modem (which is the same size as a stick of gum) into any Laptop or Desk Top and instantly have Full High Speed internet. In real world tests (on the Rogers network) this device has obtained steady connections of about 2.5MB download and about 1.5MB upload. The user experience is the same as being connected to high speed residential internet such as Shaw Cable, Bell or Telus DSL etc. No longer do you need to run around looking for a hotspot or internet café. No need to purchase daily access from Hotels or Airport lounges. This is commercial grade mobile broadband for everyone. Instantly download attachments of any size, use your Laptop as you always do ANYWHERE! This is also ideal as a back up for connected networks in case the primary internet connection goes down.
One of the smallest mobile broadband USB modems available for global wireless connectivity, the Ovation MC950D is easy to install and use. Simply plug your device into a computer and allow the device to install and connect as no CD installation is required for Windows. Designed for HSPA, the Ovation MC950D delivers broadband download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. It also has the lowest power consumption over any other wireless WAN USB device so you don’t have to worry about it draining your laptop battery power! This high speed laptop access modem works in North America, Europe and countries around world in supported bands.
Many companies have a Virtual Private Network solution in place to allow remote access to e-mail and the corporate LAN for their employees. Check with your company’s IT department to find out if a VPN solution is supported by your company.
If you use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access your e-mail or Local Area Network, you will need to subscribe to the Rogers Wireless VPN service. You can then connect to the Rogers Wireless VPN Connection and start your existing VPN software.
