Sierra Wireless USB modem to debut on Sprint Mobile Broadband Network

    Sierra Wireless announced an agreement to supply the new Sierra Wireless AirCard(R) 595U USB
    modem for access to the Sprint Mobile Broadband EV-DO Rev A Network. The
    Sprint Mobile Broadband USB Modem (AirCard 595U) will be available next month
    in Sprint sales channels, including retail stores and at www.sprint.com, and
    can be purchased for as low as $49.99 with a two-year subscriber agreement and
    $50 mail in rebate. Sprint and Sierra Wireless are also demonstrating the
    modem at CTIA Wireless 2007, held March 27 to 29 at the Orange County
    Convention Center in Orlando, Florida (visit Sprint in Booth No.2987 and
    Sierra Wireless in Booth No.3141).

    “We are pleased to collaborate with Sprint in the launch of our newest
    product, the AirCard 595U USB modem,” said Dan Schieler, senior vice
    president, Worldwide Sales for Sierra Wireless. “With value-added features
    like the included desktop docking cradle, access to Sprint Location Services
    with the latest version of Sprint Connection Manager, and battery boosted
    power for better performance in a variety of coverage areas, the AirCard 595U
    delivers a best-in-class solution for data customers looking for the
    flexibility that a USB interface provides.”

    The stylish and compact AirCard 595U USB modem can be plugged directly
    into the USB ports of notebook or desktop computers, or can be connected
    through an included docking cradle. This offers an alternative for customers
    without PCMCIA card slots and allows them to move a single wireless data
    service between multiple computers. The AirCard 595U includes an internal
    battery to ensure optimal performance, and offers GPS capability to enable
    “locate and search” functionality. The AirCard 595U supports both Windows and
    Macintosh operating systems.
