CSL, a Hong Kong-based mobile network operator, has selected two Sierra Wireless USB modems to provide high-speed wireless connectivity for notebook computer users on the CSL network.
The 1O1O Next G Express 7 (also known as the Sierra Wireless Compass 889), an HSPA USB device supporting downlink speeds of up to 7.2Mbps, is available through CSL’s retail brand 1O1O, and enterprise channels.
In addition, the 1O1O Next G Express 21 (also known as the Sierra Wireless USB 306) modem for HSPA+ networks will be available in April 2009, through CSL’s retail brands 1O1O, One2Free, and enterprise channels to provide mobile broadband connectivity on CSL’s new HSPA+ network. The 1O1O Next G Express 21 is said to be capable of download speeds up to 21Mbps on an HSPA+ network.
Jin Pak, vice president for Asia-Pacific at Sierra Wireless, said: CSL’s commitment to deploy HSPA+ shows tremendous industry leadership and will provide Hong Kong customers with one of the fastest mobile broadband networks available anywhere in the world. This industry leadership is something Sierra Wireless takes great pride in as well, and we are pleased to support CSL in the launch and to provide Hong Kong customers with reliable high-quality mobile broadband connectivity on the go.
