Novatel Wireless USB1000 Global Modem Avalaible from Verizon Wireless

The Novatel Wireless USB1000 Global Modem, made available courtesy Verizon Wireless, is a high-speed 3G modem that plugs into a laptop’s USB port. This wireless modem USB1000 combines CDMA EVDO Rev A on
850/1900 MHz, HSDPA/HSUPA on 850/1900/2100 MHz, and GSM/EDGE on 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
This implies that it can access high-speed networks here and abroad; it comes with a special SIM built in for when travelers leave the US. All that network switching comes thanks to a Qualcomm MDM1000 Gobi
chip set.

The global services that the wireless operator offers to its customers include GlobalEmail, with access to personal or corporate e-mail inboxes, a Global Travel Program, which enables those who travel for
less than 21 days in countries with GSM coverage to use a “no rental fee” voice or data device, and a Global Value Program, aimed at those who travel abroad more frequently, offering them discounted rates from around 150 GSM destinations for only a monthly charge of $4.99 per line.

To use the global modem, you’ll need a global service plan. The USB1000 Global Modem is now available with a 2-yr contract agreement and after a $50 mail-in rebate, the USB1000 costs $149.99.
