Sierrawireless 850 aircard

[Academic]

For the guys who got one - has it been a good experience? Does it seemlessly swith between MTN technologies without hanging (data out but noting in)?

Ive noted serious compatibilty issues aswell as resource conflicts.
but with some workarounds it generally comes thru.

 

[oook]

I can't really comment about the "seemlessy switch"ing since I don't generally drive around with my laptop switched on, but the card certainly seems to be quite stable.

I also haven't experienced any compatibility or resource conflict issues, but I'm expecting something to go wrong soon since there was a piece of paper in the box stating that an update from Leaf would be available "shortly".

The GPRS connection at least is far superior to what it was on the D211, my connection has now been up for about 6 hours without dropping.

Liposuck2004 can you tell us what compatibility issues you had? Was that with specific machines or O/S's?

Be a nice guy and let us know...

The 850 Combo Card is currently available from MTN, ask your local Dealer. The pay in price on a MyCall 100 is R199 on the std package & R2419 on MyChoice 75, price changes according to the package.

The GC 95 was supposed to be delivered to MTN this month, they need to be priced and put on our stock list, so not too sure when they will be out. Maybe check up on the price at the beginning of March with www.mtnsp.co.za or a Dealer Connect Store.
