With AT&T’s high-speed upload network now online, the wireless carrier is starting to roll out wireless data HSUPA  modems. AT&T’s first HSUPA data card offering was the Sierra Wireless AirCard 881 , and now they’re offering us the Sierra Wireless USBConnect 881 HSUPA USB modem to surf the full HSPA data highway. If expresscards aren’t your thing, you’ll be glad to hear that AT&T is bringing their HSPA (3G data on the upstream and downstream - HSDPA and HSUPA) network to a USB-port on Mac or Windows rig near you. The Sierra Wireless USBConnect 881 USB modem tips the scales at just 1.25 ounces and tri-band HSPA support with full quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity. The newly-launched AT&T HSPA network will push data down the (wireless) pipe at 600kbps to 1.4Mbps, and will pull data upstream at 500kbps and 800kbps. The Sierra Wireless USBConnect 881 HSPA USB modem will run you $49.99 (rebate involved, of course) when you sign up for a 2-year DataConnect contract of $59.99, or more, per month - $299.99 will net you this HSPA USB modem free and clear. HSPA?! We’ll take some of that delicious 3G data, please.

Following up on their already impressive lineup of wireless broadband connectivity solutions, Sierra Wireless has gone official with their Apex 880 USB HSPA modem. As the model name implies, the Apex 880 uses your laptop’s (and presumably desktop, but we can’t imagine anyone using this on their desktop) USB port to pull down all that glorious data at HSPA speeds. That’s right. This sucker’s a full-fledged HSPA modem, which means you’ll be plucking bytes from the air at 7.2Mbps and pushing them out at 2Mbps (AT&T, we’re looking at you ) - forget DSL, bring on the HSPA. Oh, and the Sierra Wireless Apex 880 rocks a microSD card slot because it can’t decide if it’s a USB drive or a wireless broadband modem. The 85mm x 37.5mm x 15mm modem features a tri-band UMTS radio and even quad-band GSM/EDGE compatibility to ensure that, while you may not always get 3G speeds, you’ll never be left wishing for some sweet, sweet wireless data. Look for the Sierra Wireless Apex 880 in January at an unknown price point.
