Product Overview
In minutes you will be able to connect your computers to the Internet, share your
Internet connection and network your computers. The following is a list of features
that make your new Axesstel HSUPA Modem an ideal solution for your home or
small office network. Implementation of these features depends on the particular
service provider and account features you have chosen.
Some features described in this manual may not be supported by your service
provider or may not be available with your network account. For details of the
services and accounts available, contact your service provider.
WCDMA 3G services
The Modem operates over the WCDMA 3G technology that provides a variety of
connectivity features, depending on your service provider and account:
¾ HSDPA Supports Internet connections with data rates up to 7.2 Mbps
(downlink from the network) and 384Kbps (Uplink to the network). Actual
speed depends on the network conditions.
¾ HSUPA Provides up-link performance of up to 5.76Mbit/s. Actual speed
depends on the network conditions.
Once the connection is established, you can open your browser and connect to
any web site that is accessible through the Internet, or access other Internet
services (such as email).
The connection is “active” when data transmission is occurring. If data
transmission stops for a period of time (determined by the network), the
connection becomes “dormant”; see page 26.
Plug-and-Play
Each Modem has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service
provider. This sets the Modem to use particular radio channels and enables
services specific for that provider. Although the Modem comes with drivers and
enabling software, you don’t have to install and use them if you simply want to
connect to the Internet, assuming that your Modem has been activated with the
network (The process of setting up your account is called activation. Activation
involves action by the service provider and configuration of the Modem.)
