AT&T on Tuesday morning quietly picked up the USBConnect Quicksilver a new USB mobile broadband device with an award-winning design as its latest external modem. The AT&T USBConnect Quicksilver is the first USB mobile broadband device worldwide to use the Icera Livanto(R) chipset, providing the latest features in one of the world’s smallest HSPA USB devices that weighs just 1.2 ounces.
Based on the global standard for wireless — GSM — the Quicksilver provides access to not only the nation’s fastest 3G network but also to international data roaming in more than 150 countries, with 3G available in more than 60 of those countries. AT&T is offering the new modem as of today and sells it for $250 without any commitment, though signing up for a two-year data plan supplies the Quicksilver for free.
