Data Card surfing: unlimited bandwidth

3G, as a technology that integrates mobile and Internet, was first recognized by consumers as a result of high-speed mobile Internet access. This is why the data card service was first launched by 3G carriers at home and abroad and is also the most concerned by consumers. Consumers of a thin data card make them no longer limited to indoor wireless routing, and do not have to panic around with their laptops to find Starbucks Wi-Fi hotspots. With 3 GB, you can connect your laptop to wireless high-speed broadband at any time if you have a network.

Scottsdale, an IT market research company, reported that the global data card shipments reached 2008 units in 20 million, which will continue to grow with the continuous promotion of 3G networks and the increase in laptop sales; according to a recent report by ABI Research, the unit sales of 3G data cards increased by 300% from 3 billion to 22 billion. By, the annual revenue will increase from USD to USD.

Adding data cards to laptops has become the trend of the times. China Mobile, China Telecom, and other operators are trying to promote 3G netbooks, and foreign operators are no exception. At the ctia2009 conference, at&t announced the launch of 5 3G netbooks, which will be sold at a subsidized price of $49.99 at the selected stores under Atlanta and philphia. Daryl schoolar, a senior analyst at in-Stat, said that, driven by Gobi and other technologies of Qualcomm, more and more laptops are built into 3G modules, the built-in data card will be the most promising growth area in the future. In 2011, the volume of built-in data cards will exceed the volume of external data cards.

One-click access: 3G killer business

You can call immediately and invite your friends and family to join the conversation. This is the unique feature of the push-to-talk service. Compared with mobile phone calls, one-click communication saves the trouble of searching and dialing and can be connected immediately in a shorter period of time. Compared with professional walkie talkie, the high cost and limited coverage, the one-click access service is cost-effective and can be used in any location covered by 3G networks.

This service was initially widely used by industry customers. For example, the DirectConnect service launched by Nextel, an American cluster communication operator, attracted a lot of attention for its extremely high ARPU value and low user turnover. With the popularization of 3G, the one-click Access Service Based on 3G networks is gaining popularity among more and more common consumers. According to the Yangji Group survey, 24% of American mobile consumers are very interested in the service, while similar surveys by Strategy Analytics show that 45% of users are ready to use the technology.

In the face of the unlimited enthusiasm of consumers, operators and mobile phone manufacturers are also active. In October June 2008, the American CDMA operator Sprint Nextel launched a one-click Access Service in 40 markets across the United States. This service uses Qualcomm's qchat technology and supports four mobile phones, that is, LG lx400, Samsung z400, Sanyo pro-700, and Sanyo pro-200. The price ranges from $49.99 to $99.99, which is highly cost-effective. International Mobile Phone giants such as Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, and Motorola are also launching various types of terminals that support the one-click function.

The one-click Access Service Based on 3G networks has many advantages. On the one hand, operators can make full use of existing investments without deploying new networks.

For example, one-click Communication Based on Mobile Communication Networks can not only achieve one-click communication, but also add Status display (that is, you can know whether the other party is online), one-to-many group calls, and other special features. In addition, because of the one-click group feature, once a user enjoys the business, he or she will invite his or her friends and family to join the group, which has a strong infectious effect. It is precisely because of the above features that one-click access is increasingly becoming a hot business in the 3G era.
