Yes. This modem supports 2G, 2.5G, 3G, and 3.5G cards. - Do I need any extra software to use this HSDPA wireless modem?
No. The only software you will need is inside the USB key. - What kind of download speeds can I expect with this HSDPA wireless modem?
This modem supports download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps. Actual download speeds depend on factors such as your service provider, your proximity to the base-station and how many other people are sharing the overall bandwidth. - How does this device work? Do I need to have some arrangement with the telephone company?
The device requires a SIM card. You can connect to the internet on high-speed tri-band UMTS networks if your local area supports this. If your area has no UMTS, then you can still connect to the slower quad-band GSM/EDGE networks which are available everywhere. You must make sure that your SIM card is not locked (password protected) as this may cause problems.
