HAVING THE EDGE

USB modem is a cutting edge technology entering the market. It promises to be a quicker, easier and a better way of connecting to the internet. The technology used in the USB modem is generally EDGE/GSM/GPRS.

The obvious advantage of this is portability that is the net can be accessed from anywhere with the help of just the USB. It is very simple to use as well. All that needs to be done is to simply plug in the USB to access the net. Connecting through this modem offers high speed and accessibility from anywhere being wireless. Thus it offers a perfect marriage of the advantages of LAN and Wi-Fi. In addition there are lesser security concerns than those in WiFi. The major providers of this service include Reliance, Vodafone, Airtel and Tata Indicom. The modems are available for rent or purchase. The pricing too is pretty reasonable considering the advantages it offers.There are various tariff plans available for the customer to choose from.

Another factor to be considered while opting for this service is connectivity. Internet accessibility is restricted to the coverage area of the service provider. Signals recieved should be strong for proper connectivity(similar to cell phone).This will not pose a huge problem as networks cover huge areas nowadays. The speed too may vary according to the number of users, time of the day etc and so is not consistent throughout.
