How does it work?
EVDO X'cess Broadband works similarly to the way your X’cess Phone operates in that it relies on signal from a wireless tower rather than a physical connection like a phone line or cable. An EVDO modem (often referred to as an "aircard" receives the signal and allows you to connect to the internet – by connecting your aircard directly to your PC or note book. It’s as simple as that!
