Verizon Sierra AirCard 595 Rev A Now Shipping

Michael

Verizon will be announcing their first EVDO Rev A PCMCIA card tomorrow (12/15/2006).

We are getting in our first shipment tomorrow and are now taking orders Smile

Of course, Window users with a PCMCIA slot can also use it.

Sprint has been shipping this card for a few months, so be sure to check out our router compatibility and card compatibility guide (to be updated soon).

We will know for sure after we get one to test.

I would suspect that it would work fine, BUT, probably smarter to wait so we can test.

I heard tomorrow there will be 10 cities go live with EVDO.A do anyone know which cities those are? I wish Los Angeles is one of them.

While booster-antenna.com has lower prices for the KPC650, V620 and V640, the price for the Verizon AirCard 595 (initially posted at $139.99 with 2-yr contract, plus $25 activation) is higher than that offered by the Verizon Wireless online web site. Will you match their online web site 2-year contract price of $99.99 with free activation online?

Can this card lock onto EVDO only (i.e., lockout 1xrt)?

our prices were established yesterday based on initial disussions with verizon, and long before anything 'official' showed up on their site.

we're working to find out what price _we_ will actually be charged, and then decide quickly, what price we can extend to our customers.

our history shows that more often than not, we're cheaper than what the consumer can get from verizon stores... and we plan on doing whatever we can to keep it that way!

We adjusted our prices today, now that it is official:

AC 595 2 year, $119.99 - $50 mail in rebate, net cost = $69.99
AC 595 1 year, $199.99 - $50 mailin rebate, net cost = $149.99

For anyone that ordered yesterday or today, you are automatically being billed the lower price.

FYI, the AirCard 595's just arrived (so they are not vaporware).

So there you have it.

Verizon's price for the Rev-A Sierra A595 card is lower than Sprint's (on a 2yr plan)...

And Booster-Antenna's price is (once again) lower than Verizon's website.

no more excuses. place your order now! Wink

Just found your site and now I'm kicking myself for not ordering from you guys, sorry about that Sad

Anyway, wanted to let you know that according to Verizon Tech people this is compatible with Apple OS. I should be getting mine either today or tomorrow and will update once I know for sure. Thanks for being here!

Am I understanding corectly: there is NO router that supports this card at the present time?

I am getting an AC595 on Monday and will report back here on Mac OS X compatibility.

The Top Globval MB6000 (with correct firmware) supports the AC595.

FYI,

The shipping AirCard 595 only includes VZAccess Manager V 6.0.0-1507F for Windows, not Mac OS X software included and no "Mac Compatible" logo on packaging.

We think that the recently pulled VZAccess Manager 3.1.2 may be compatible, we will do more testing on Tuesday.
