USB Modem Delivers File Storage Functionality and High-Speed Wireless
Internet Connectivity to the Nation's Most Reliable Wireless Network
The Verizon USB760 will be available December 1, 2008
Developed by Novatel Wireless a leading provider of wireless broadband solutions, the USB760 gives
customers a powerful, pocket-sized wireless broadband modem that runs
on Verizon Wireless' high-speed network, which uses Evolution-Data
Optimized (EVDO) Revision A (Rev. A) technology.
Customers can use the included VZAccess Manager(TM) software on the
USB760 for easy connection management and automatic installation on
Windows(R) and Mac systems without the need to install software from a
CD. Measuring just more than two inches long and weighing less than an
ounce, the USB760 is designed to be extremely durable, and combines a
variety of innovative features into its tiny package, including an
integrated microSD(TM) slot, allowing for the seamless storage and
transport of up to 8 GB of files, photos or videos on a removable SD
storage card (sold separately). Designed to work with any laptop,
tablet PC or desktop running Windows, Mac or Linux operating systems
and equipped with a Type-A USB port, the USB760 features an internal
advanced dual-band diversity antenna, as well as an optional external
antenna for enhanced performance on the fringe areas of networks and in
highly mobile environments. NovaSpeed (TM) software helps optimize
performance and enables simultaneous uploads and downloads at
significantly enhanced speeds.
The USB760 from Verizon Wireless gives customers access to the company's BroadbandAccess
service, which provides fast access to e-mail, corporate data, the
Internet and more. With average download speeds of 600 kilobits per
second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of
500-800 kbps, BroadbandAccess from Verizon Wireless allows customers to
download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment -- the equivalent of a small
PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- in about eight
seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.
The USB760 will be available
for $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a new two-year agreement.
Customers will receive the rebate in the form of a debit card; upon
receipt, they may use the card as cash anywhere debit cards are
accepted. Customers can select from one- or two-year BroadbandAccess
plans that offer 50 MB data usage for $39.99 monthly access or 5 GB
data usage for $59.99 monthly access.
