Cingular to Offer Global High-Speed Roaming

Cingular Wireless announced today that it will be first U.S. cellular operator to offer worldwide high-speed roaming. Cingular GlobalConnect will offer mobile broadband service in more than two dozen countries using a five-band cellular PC card from Option Wireless.

Cingular’s GlobalConnect plan will be based on the Option GlobeTrotter GT MAX LaptopConnect card, the first five-band cellular device to reach the market. The card can connect to EDGE networks using all four major bands (850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz), but can also access UMTS/HSDPA networks at both the 850/1900 MHz bands used in North America and the 2100 MHz band used internationally. Plus, the GT MAX card also offers Wi-Fi support (just in case your laptop didn’t already have it) and supports both Windows and Macintosh computers.
