Use your 3G Datacard on a Desktop PC with an Elan Adapter
Wireless internet access using GSM type networks is becoming increasingly popular for notebook computers, and is now in demand as a solution for desktop PCs. Elan's PSeries support all PCMCIA compliant cards, including GPRS, UMTS, CDMA and EDGE cards so are ideal to allow you to use your 3G card in your desktop PC.
Models
| P111 | Simple rear slot adapter works with all wireless modem cards |
| P416 | Rear slot + front slot, allows use of other cards and 16-bit datacards in front slot. |
Any PSeries model works with 3G cards, although some of these models are CardBus (32-Bit) so work only in rear slot models (such as P111, P222). For full model list, see left.
