When the USB Wireless Modems were released, the traditional wireless broadband ‘cards’ for PCMCIA slots dropped off the radar. I’m not sure why that happened. Maybe the USB modems seemed more sexy. They were slightly more compact. 

But now the wireless card for the PCMCIA or Express Card slots has made a comeback! And they are super cheap too - only $69 from 3 for prepaid wireless broadband.

These cards are compatible with both PC and Mac. They are designed to be plug and play and come with the CD Drivers to use on your Mac.

When it comes to performance, these Mobile Broadband Cards have great specs - especially if you are a more occasional user of wireless. They are HSDPA enabled for High Speed internet access. The maximum available download speed on this card is 7.2Mbps and the maximum upload speed is 384kbps. 

They don’t have the latest feature on the E160 USB modem, which is roaming on the Telstra NextG network (at a cost of course!). The E160 is a great deal for $129, but if you’re looking at cutting costs and keeping you money in your own pocket, then the Wireless Card for $69 is a great wireless deal.
