Vodafone launches 3G broadband USB modem in the UK

November 21, 2006

Available from 21st November 2006: the eagerly anticipated Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem from just £49 ex VAT. This new version of the 3G broadband data card, designed especially for users of the latest generation of laptops and Apple MacBooks, allows customers to access 3G broadband by simply plugging it into the USB slot on their Computer.

Kyle Whitehill, Director of Vodafone UK's Enterprise Business Unit, comments, "Following our first to market launch of 3G broadband services in June this year, this device is a direct response to demand from users of the latest generation of laptops, who'd also like to be using 3G broadband." Kyle concluded, "The new, easy to install, Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem, ensures that all Vodafone customers, regardless of their choice of computer, are able to access 3G broadband services."

Sunny Suri, trialist, Publisher for Movie Mag International and Managing Director of Public Relations UK, comments: "As a magazine publisher, I have to meet critical deadlines all the time. I'm mostly out of the office. Relying on wireless hotspots or connection points in cafes is frustrating. Often I need to use an internet connection and the hotel room one isn't working. This way, there's no problem - you just plug in and get on. It really simplifies working away from the office."

The Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem offers download speeds of around 1.4Mbps and joins an extensive 3G broadband product range; including the award-winning 3G data card, built-in laptop technology and the 3G broadband wireless router. Vodafone boasts the largest 3G data card market share, the fastest 3G network for downloads and continues its intensive 3G broadband rollout programme. Having already made the service available to all major cities and towns across the UK the footprint is expanding every week and all 3G areas will be upgraded to 3G broadband by summer 2007.

The service is also available in a number of other countries worldwide including Australia, Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal and Spain. When outside of 3G broadband coverage, customers will automatically be able to access the web using Vodafone's existing 3G and GPRS services.
