The Sierra card is fully compatible with Verizon Wireless’ current EV-DO and CDMA 1X networks, so customers purchasing the card now will be able to take advantage of the benefits of Revision A when and where it becomes available. A simple over-the-air download will expand the capabilities of the card to accommodate Rev A speeds.

The AirCard 595 PC card is available now online at www.verizonwireless.com for $99.99 after a $50 rebate with a new two year customer agreement. The card will be in Verizon Wireless communications stores by "mid January".

For a limited time, Verizon Wireless customers with a new or existing voice plan can get unlimited BroadbandAccess service for Internet browsing, e-mail and intranet access for $59.99/month with a new two-year customer agreement. For non-voice customers, BroadbandAccess is available for $79.99/month access with a new one- or two-year customer agreement.

Aussies win WiFi patent suit

A federal court in Tyler, Texas has ruled that a patent owned by an agency of the Australian government is valid and covers the core technology found in current wireless devices.

In February, 2005 the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation ("CSIRO") filed suit against Buffalo Technology, a Japanese manufacturer and Buffalo USA, its Austin, Texas-based subsidiary. The action alleged that Buffalo's 802.11a and 802.11g wireless devices infringe claims of United States Patent 5,487,069 ("the '069 patent"). The patent issued in September, 1996 and claims priority to an Australian filing in November, 1991.
