Huawei launches a high speed data card
CHINESE WIRELESS OUTFIT Huawei is about to launch the world's first plug in and link data card, the Hilink E353.
Using a number of patented technologies, the fast Hilink E353 automatically connects users to the internet in as little as 15 seconds after the data card is inserted into a USB port.
This means no boring tedious dial-in process, driver installation or manual configuration - and it is up to 75 per cent faster than other products on the market.
Ever the trendsetter, the Hilink E353 is also the first EDGE/GPRS/GSM-compatible product in the Huawei Hilink series that supports HSPA+network with 21Mbits/s downlink.
It will be available in the UK later this year after launching first in Turkey in the third quarter.
Huawei president of mobile broadband, Wu Shimin said, "Leveraging revolutionary 4th generation datacard technology, the HiLink series is poised to change the datacard industry landscape."
He added, "The HiLink technology is the result of more than one year of dedicated research and development and we believe that it will not only enhance consumers' user experience, it will also enable operators to reduce backend development and maintenance costs and speed up UI customisation, enhancing the competitiveness of their products." µ

From my local Telco:
21Mbps enabled (actual speeds will vary), national average speed for the is estimated at 4Mbps
7.2Mbps enabled (actual speeds will vary), national average speed for Hotspot is estimated at 3Mbps
At least they are being honest - a refreshing change for a telco, but real word data speeds seem fairly shite don't they ? Certainly not worth paying a lot extra is it ?
Assuming that customers actually see anything close to the acclaimed 21 Mbit/s (sic), the whole high speed data transfer is over in about half an hour, thanks to the ISPs' retarded policy of throttling the transfer down to less than 8 kB/s after a transfer of 5 GB within a time period of one month. So, what is the point of buying this shit?
It's got the same spec as the Huawei dongle that 3 have been selling for the couple of months....
