It, under full strength signal will give you 1meg down, HOWEVER it has about 500+ms of latency. We have about half a dozen of these cards we us them for our field laptops. They work great for what we do which is a background process that runs a database sync, latency isn't a issue bandwith is. If you need better response look at maybe a shotgun modem setup. Also you could look at 2 way satellite. I went to Sprints EVDO conference and the speeds IIRC were 1.1meg down and 256k up, when the next evdo rev comes out it will be a full 1.5down and up. Anyways I'm not sure if they are out for evdo but I know you can get trunk mount style CDMA receivers, which is what most cops use. They support an external antenna (you need a good 5 bar signal, the more bars the less error checking it does and thus the more packets you will push). Also check out www.digitalantenna.com they make amplifiers and repeaters. We use them in our office trailers. We work on turbine generators which are usually 50+ miles from the city so signal is very weak, with one of those in place we go from 1bar on the cell phone to 4-5. If you have more questions feel free to email me. We work with a lot of cellular products because of the travel in our company. Don't listen to people that say it slower than dialup, its just lag that make sit seem slow, download a 4 meg file on it and after the first 2 seconds it takes for the connection to negotiate it'll download at 30-50kb/sec. Do that on a modem. -Seth -----Original Message----- From: Bryan K.

EVDO performance is very sensitive to your location and the quality of the cell network/tower backhaul you are connecting to. Transfer rate on EVDO is actually pretty good. I know that I personally pull 12-15kb/sec downloads over it, which 2.5 - 3 times faster than I ever did with dial-up. However, it is nearly as latent as a satellite connection, so web browsing and other interactive activities tend to perform poorly. -Bryan -----Original Message----- From: Phil [mailto:xphilz at gmail dot com] Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 4:08 AM To: taharka Cc: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch Subject: Re: [m0n0wall] Anyone Using Verizon EVDO with m0n0wall?
