    I have Dell XPS L501x. Currently I am using Huawei UMG1831 USB modem.

    Now I am thinking to install WWAN card for it.

    1. Which one I should go for ? I need :
      • Both GSM & CDMA Support
      • 21 MBPS Download
      • Should support both 2G & 3G sims
    2. Do I need an external antennae ? If yes, which one ?
    3. What are the advantages of it over USB modem ?
    4. Does it heat at higher download speeds ?
