Option is already shipping its HSPA ExpressCard data cards for Vodafone, which provides not only 7.2 megabits download, but also 5.76 megabits upload, of course these being the maximum available speeds. The first shipments have already been delivered to Finnish Elisa, ehich is the first commercial HSPA 900 MHz provider, belonging to Vodafone group. The reuse of the 900 MHz band is a very important step for network operators, as instead of the old GSM they can cover a much larger area with broadband internet solutions, which means a cheaper network developments and larger coverage also for settlements with a lower population.
