Sprint Offers Novatel Wireless S620
Some may be wondering, what is the difference between the Novatel V620 and the Novatel S620. The cards appear to be identical:
V = Verizon's version
S = Sprint's Version |
While the cards are identical from the computer's point of view, there is one significant difference between them - the Verizon card is dual-band, while the Sprint version is single-band (1900 mHz only). I suppose there is no way of confirming that either way short of opening up the card, but accoding to the specs in the manual (Sprint version; didn't get any actual Novatel docs with mine) that's what it is. I wonder if there is any advantage to that? Theoretically, as least, I'd think a single-band radio would use less power than a dual-band radio. OTOH, only one band is in use at any given moment on a dual-band, so the power savings, if any, would probably be virtually imperceptible. |
