The long awaited 3G data cards are here from BSNL in partnership with Micromax mobiles. Micromax mobiles will develop the data card exclusively for BSNLs 3G operations and these data cards, will be available in both HSDPA and HSUPA variants in USB format. As a started since BSNL has already started its 3G operations in northern India (update: Now BSNL has 3G services all over India), these data card will be first offered in cities of Shimla, Lucknow, Agra, Patna, Durgapur, Jallandar, Dehradun, Jaipur, Ambala and Haldia.
Micromax MMX 300G review
The Micromax MMX 300G data card in HSDPA Variant will offer a speed of up to 3.6Mbps DL and 384 Kbps UL.In areas where 3G is still not available, the EDGE network of speed up to 237kbps DL and 118kbps UL or GPRS network with speeds of 85.6kbps DL and 42.8 Kbps UL will be on offer.
Any standard 6 pin SIM card complaint with 3GPP 31.101 and 31.102 can be used with this data card. The USB data card contains an Internal Antenna and will be Auto Installed by the Vista/ XP Operating System.
The SIM and Data service simultaneous operation is an addition to this data card where the SIM can also be used to send and receive SMSs at the same time when it is being used for Data purposes.
The price of this Data Card along with BSNL (MTNL for metros) Kit is approximately Rs.3500.
Update: This USB data card initially came locked with BSNL Sim card but you can easily unlock it and use it with any other GSM sim card such as Airtel, Vodafone and Idea. I have used it with airtel 3G sim card in Hyderabad on Windows 8 and it gives a decent speed of 2.8 Mbps downlink. This Modem, along with 200G are discontinued by Micromax so you cannot have USB drivers at present. Though I can confirm that it installs everything necessary by itself on a Windows 7 and 8 PCs.
