The successor to UTStarcom's hugely popular PC5740, the PC5750 is a
dual-band (800/1900 MHz) CDMA2000 1xEV-DO wireless Type II PC card that is
designed to allow on-the-go laptop users to make secure wireless connections
through their wireless carriers. Outfitted with high-speed EV-DO Revision A
technology, the PC5750 is compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows
XP. Mobile computer users can surf the Internet, download data or send and
receive e-mails with large attachments at speeds of up to 3.1 Mbps -- 30
percent faster than previously capable. The PC5750 also has a memory capacity
of 64 MB Flash / 32 MB RAM that is eight times greater than that of earlier
UTStarcom mobile connectivity cards.

In addition to the high-speed advantages offered by the PC5750, the card
employs a CDMA wireless technology authentication and identification security
system, designed to help assure the integrity of mobile computing functions
and data. The Mobile Identification Number (MIN) and Electronic Serial Number
(ESN), together with CDMA spread technology, are designed to make it virtually
impossible for unauthorized users to capture and decipher information.

'The PC5750 card is an ideal wireless solution for the mobile
professional. The days of hunting for a Wi-Fi signal to connect to the
Internet are over,' said
Philip Christopher, president of UTStarcom Personal
Communications. 'With the PC5750, you can establish a secure wireless
connection wherever you find a regular wireless signal -- be it at home, in
the office or on the go.'

The PC5750 measures (h) 4.6' x (w) 2.1' x (d) 0.2', weighs only 1.8
ounces, and fits into standard PCMCIA slots found on laptop computers, making
mobile computing more convenient and efficient. The PC5750 is a wireless
broadband card which is designed to enable laptop users in North America to
get wireless Internet connection anywhere at anytime (carrier dependent).
