What is Mobile Broadband?

Mobile broadband is the term used to describe mobile high-speed internet access using mobile phone networks by a variety of mobile modem or telecommunication devices. 

Originally targeted at the laptop user mobile broadband is accessed by built in 3G hardware, mobile data cards or by plugging in a small USB modem (known as a dongle) into a USB port in your laptop. It automatically installs all the software necessary to make it work 

General activities on the Internet like email, surfing the web and accessing intranets are generally available at faster speeds than dial-up, but not as fast as ADSL or cable. 

Benefits of mobile broadband include:

- Completely mobile service.

- No need for a landline or cable connection, saving money on line rental and added flexibility.

- No need to be in range of a WiFi hotspot, you can use mobile broadband wherever there’s a signal to your mobile phone network. 

- Can send and receive sms messages.

- It’s available around the world (where there is access to a signal) so great for that international traveler.
