Ways to Access

The Verizon VL600 USB Modem supports Verizon Mobile Broadband (4G/3G) service

VL600 USB Modem Hardware: Overview

for a superior wireless data connection.

Mobile Broadband (4G/3G)

Mobile Broadband service provides a wireless broadband connection to the Internet and
requires a Mobile Broadband-capable USB modem*.

Verizon Wireless 4G Mobile Broadband is the fastest, fully mobile wireless Internet data
solution available today. Average download speeds will range from 5 to 12 Mbps and
upload speeds will range from 2 to 5 Mbps, with an expected average round trip latency
of 30 ms within the Verizon Wireless network. This increased network performance will
enable exciting new applications, such as high-resolution multimedia and video
collaboration, to become viable in a wireless mobile environment.

* Speeds require an EV-DO Rev. A-capable USB modem. When using an EV-DO USB modem that is not

Rev. A-capable or traveling in the Extended Broadband Rate and Services area, you can expect
download speeds of 400 - 700 Kbps and upload speeds of 60 - 80 Kbps. Mobile Broadband speed
claims based on our network tests with 5 MB FTP data files, without compression. For EVDO Rev. A
typical download speeds range from 600 kbps to 1.4 Mbps with typical upload speeds ranging from
500 kbps to 800 kbps.
