The Sierra Wireless AirCard® 595 PC card for EV-DO Revision A networks is now commercially available for use with Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess service. This is the first EV-DO Revision A-compatible PC card to launch on the Verizon Wireless network, and is available on-line and through Verizon Wireless business customer sales channels.

EV-DO Revision A, an enhancement to Verizon Wireless' current EV-DO network, will offer improved data speeds, particularly for users sending large files like presentations or photos over their wireless connection. The AirCard 595 PC card is also fully compatible with Verizon Wireless' current EV-DO and CDMA 1X networks, so customers purchasing the card will be able to take advantage of the benefits of Revision A when and where it becomes available. An over-the-air download will expand the capabilities of the card to accommodate Rev A speeds.

The AirCard 595 PC card is available for $99.99 after a $50 rebate with a new two year customer agreement online at www.verizonwireless.com.  Business customers can contact a Verizon Wireless Business Sales Representative directly at 1-800-VZW 4 BIZ. The Sierra Wireless AirCard 595 PC Card will be in Verizon Wireless communications stores by mid January.
