Thanks to EVDOinfo I was able to forget about WiFi hot spots and searching for connectivity. I am now set up and working well aboard a sailboat! Using the KR1 (because I had to go with the U720 due to two PCMCIA and PC Express) and using the Verizon U720 I have broadband connectivity onboard. We sail between Annapolis, MD and Acadia Maine and we have had connectivity 20 miles off the NJ coast! My antenna is the Wilson trucker antenna bought from 3Gstore and I bet if I would add the amp I would get even better range. We have used http://SpeedTest.net and tested speeds of 1100kbps up and 700kbps down while connected to an EVDO tower. Using the maps at Verizon you can see where EVDO coverage is located (EVDOmaps.com freezes my laptop?) so we try to sail to these locations and work the network.
THANK YOU EVDOINFO FOR ALL YOUR WORK IN THIS EVDO AREA. YOU GUYS ARE #1.
