Good Things Come in Small Packages - Verizon Announces Small USB Modem

Verizon Wireless announced the immediate availability of the UM150 USB wireless modem through business sales channels and online at www.verizonwireless.com. The UM150 USB modem will also be available in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores, including those in Circuit City, on November 2.

The UM150 USB modem is designed to work with any computing device equipped with a Type A USB port — including most desktops, notebooks, and tablet PCs — and provides on-the-go access to BroadbandAccess, which runs on Verizon Wireless’ national high-speed wireless broadband network. With out-of-box support for most operating systems, including Windows(R) (Vista, XP, 2000), Mac(R) and OS X 10.3.9 or higher, the UM150 USB modem enables Verizon Wireless customers to stay connected to online resources.

Designed to be as durable as it is small, the UM150 USB modem combines a variety of features into its tiny form factor, including a high- performance, retractable antenna and a Y-shaped extension cable for added performance and convenience. In addition, the UM150 serves as a mass storage device with its built-in microSD(TM) memory slot which has a minimum capacity of 4 GB. VZAccess Manager Software is included to simplify set-up and navigation through the UM150’s features.

The UM150 USB modem is available for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and new two-year agreement.
