HSPA+ MC8700 PCI Express Mini Card
Works fine in my sxps 1340's wwan slot btw.. drivers are just latest version of sierra watcher software.
recent speedtest using Telus HSPA+ , this was in my office in downtown edmonton earlier this evening;
ping: 28ms download: 12.83Mb/s upload: 2.76Mb/s
excellent speeds for internet on-the-go![]()
I chose this card because it is capable of full HSPA+ speeds (Peak downlink speeds up to 21 Mbps and peak uplink speeds up to 5.76 Mbps) .. Dell's current WWAN cards are just not fast enough, lol

Thanks for the info on this card sounds promising going to look into this one.

I just picked up one of these cards, were did you get the drivers from?
-
I use several types of Sierra Wireless WWAN modules (MC8780, MC8781 and MC8775). All use the same driver/software (Sierra Wireless Watcher) which I downloaded from Sierra's website. You can download from this link.

I'm trying to get the MC8700 too. Is it available online? Or do I have to contact certain distributor? If so, who is it? The distributors list on Sierra website is not updated aparently.
Thank you for the info. -
