Aircards

Aircard is a device that plugs into a laptop computer, typically through a USB connection or PC Card slot that uses a cell phone signal to provide high-speed Internet access.An aircard will enable one to have Internet access without having to rely on hot spot availability, access to a phone line for dial-up or sharing a wired connection at a job site.A user will need a service plan (normally through one's cell phone service provider) that allows the user to access the Internet with their aircard.
Aircards are sold by cell phone companies and they require a monthly service plan. Sierra AirCards and Kyocera are two of the most well-known aircard manufacturers.
Aircards are also known as mobile broadband card and connect cards.
