Re: 3G usb modems



Hi all,

sorry for the late drop in but I am hit since 2007-12-17 by more then
300000 spams per day which went a little bit to much for my little AMD
Athlon...  and now I get all messages delayed by arround 2 weeks

Currently I am using two Sierra Wireless 860 cards (PCMCIA) but they are
quiet expensive (389 Euro per card plus 20 Euro for the PCI-PCMCIA adaptor
from DeLock)

I have the need to use 6-8 SIM's in parallel and I am looking for a
cheaper solution as the PCMCIA cards, so USB-GSM-Modems would be perfect.

I was on the website od <http://www.zadako.com/> and found the USB-Modem
"ZADACOM 3G+" which support:

CSD		14.4 and 9.6 kBit/s
GPRS		Class 10 (4+2) up to 85.6 kBit/s
EGPRS		Class 10 (4+2) up to 236.8 kBit/s
WCDMA (3G/UMTS)	DL: up to 384 kBit/s, UL: up to 384 kBit/s
HSDPA		DL: up to 1.8 MBit/s, UL: up to 384 kBit/s

where they are already upgrades for the HSDPA to 3.6 and 7.2 MBit/s

The problem is, the UMTS-USB-Modem is more expensive as a PCMCIA-card
plus PCI-PCMCIA-Adaptor...

Any other suggestions?

Note: Because I voyage very much, the protocols GPRS, EDGE (EGPRS),
      WCDMA and HSDPA are a requirement for me...
