EV-DO Revision A PC Card Announced
Mar 21, 2006, 9:17 PM by (staff)
Sierra Wireless yesterday announced the EV-DO Revision A capable AirCard 595, along with a mini card designed to be embedded into laptops and other data devices. Using Revision A, the 595 will double download speeds to 3.1 Mbps and increase upload by a factor of 10 to 1.8 Mbps. The card is backwards compatible with EV-DO Rel. 0 and 1xRTT data in areas where Rev. A is not available. Sierra states the card is scheduled for commercial shipment in the third quarter, hinting that CDMA carriers may be rolling out their data upgrades before the holiday shopping season in at least some markets.

EV-DO REV-A
Unless you have REV-A equipment, you aint gunna get REV-A speeds. So for everyone who is posting asking if "my speed on my 6700" will go up, of course, no.
Slowing down, common sense, and intelligence go a long way to answering our own questions I think.

faster upload speed to EVDO now ?
I would also like to see less latency. Trying to use VoIP or IP-Sec VPN over the VZW Broadband PC Card is painful at times. I often get 200-300ms latency with their 1x-EVDO offering.
