What type of mobile broadband modems are there?
Mobile broadband modems are great as they allow you the freedom to connect to the internet when you’re out and about…no wires…no fuss! There are 4 types of modems: USB stick – this is the most popular choice and plugs directly into your laptop/computer for direct access to the internet. It is a portable and lightweight option, similar to a USB data stick. Dongle – this is similar size to a mobile phone. The wire attached plugs directly into your laptop/computer. Mobile Broadband Data Cards -are smaller than usb sticks but less popular. You also need to have plug and go software on your laptop/pc for them to work. Built-in Mobile Broadband laptops and netbooks – the mobile broadband and sim card is built in so you don’t need a portable modem.
