Choosing a USB Modem GSM and CDMA and Internet Provider



Currently it is a trend "Wireless Internet Mobile" alias, "Wireless Mobile Internet." Well, internet connection in use today is by using technology HSPA (High Speed ​​Packet Access) or UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems). They say that hell is called 3.5 G technology The device used is a USB Stick Modem GSM / CDMA that can be taken anywhere. Allowing laptop users to access the Internet anywhere and anytime.

If you are interested want to use, here are tips before buying:

1. Modem Quality.
Pick a cheap modem, but not cheap. A good quality modem usually can catch a GSM signal without falter. Also note the modem software is also qualified. Namely, the included drivers support of Windows XP and Windows Vista. Installation is not complicated, and quickly detected by the computer when the pull the pair.

2. Warranty Modem.
Do not forget this one thing. Some stores selling the modem makes no warranty, so choose a shop that provides guarantees against the modem you buy. Generally there is a guaranteed modem 6 Months to 1 year.

3. Facilities Modem.
Pick a feature-rich modems, for example support with the speed of 3.6 Mbps and 7.2 Mbps. Could use a Micro SD Card slot. USB Extension. Features Wireless Lan (Wifi). GPS features. Support External Antenna Indoor and Outdoor, etc..

But sometimes these features can lead to other problems on your modem, for example, the modem always auto-connect to WiFi than to GSM. So if you're not too familiar with extra feature which I suggest should be given only the standard select the modem.

4. Modem Model.
Do not be fooled by the petite and pretty modern. Not all modems in the form of pretty good quality. Also avoid the modem that can be folded, since the plug more quickly USBnya damaged.

5. Software Modem.
All modems are equipped with software to configure your Internet settings. Some software modems have a complete Internet setting. Several others are settingannya not be modified again (Modem Locked). Choose the modem that is easy and not terlock settingannya by certain internet providers. When you buy a modem that was lock then you can not replace mengonta SIM-Card-other. Modem type is usually a modem that was one of the packages with internet providers.

6. Types of Modem.
There are 2 kinds of SIM card used in GSM and CDMA modems, namely CDMA SIM Card (For example Fren, Flexi, etc.), and GSM SIM Card (Sympathy For example, Three, Sun, etc.). Do not buy a GSM modem if you want to use Flexi card, and vice versa.

Tips for Choosing Internet Provider:

1. The price offered.
Important determining factor in choosing a provider internet. Today many studded package offered by the provider internet. Also do not be fooled by the lure of cheap prices. Because usually a cheap internet packet network quality is also cheap. It never hurts to spend more money to get a good internet connection. Rather than spend time waiting for loading a web page.

2. Local location.
Do not be surprised if you find a bad quality internet network your home, but even your good friends at home. That is, not all places have network coverage HSPA / UMTS good. Generally, the modem automatically reduces your connection type from 3G to 2G if the signal if 2G is stronger than 3G. But some types of modem can be manually set to always connect to a 3G network. So choose the Internet provider that its 3G network signal is stronger and better your area.

3. Users of internet packages.
Some of your friends might say that internet package "A" is good. Maybe some of your other friends even say the Internet package "B" is good. This can not be used as a benchmark. Because good or not an internet connection is also influenced by the number of users (the user) the internet in that area. A tower (BTS) Internet network GSM is generally only able to receive 40 users simultaneously in one time. So if you booming area of ​​Internet users, of course, influence on your own so go get a slow Internet network.

4. Speed ​​Internet.
Modem in the market has a data transfer speeds between 3.6 Mbps to 7.2 Mbps. This means that the transfer speed modems and base stations is 3.6 or 7.2 Megabytes per one second. But do not immediately get me wrong if you only download speeds of about 256Kbps only. Transfer speed your modem is true 3.6 or 7.2 Mbps to the BTS, but generally limit the speed of your Internet provider from the BTS to the Internet, so you get less speed.

-----( 7.2Mbps modem )---> [BTS] -----( 256Kbps Internet )---->

So choose your Internet provider that offers better speed to the Internet.
