Question : 3G Datacards v USB fobs

Hi

We have several people who want to access the internet using their laptop when they are out of the office..We have the options of either 3G datacards and USB modem type devices to purchase for them.

I was wondering what people thought was the better of the two? Any advantages/disadvantages of either?

Any help appreciated!

Answer : 3G Datacards v USB fobs

What is the USB modem, is it 3G as well?  If you are comparing USB 3G cards and PCMCIA 3G cards, I would go USB for a few reasons.  One, most of them install their own drivers when you plug them in.  Two, you can use them on any computer, where the PCMCIA card requires a PCMCIA interface.  Three you can buy a USB extension cable and put the card in a higher area where you have better reception.
