The USBConnect Lightning connects to your laptop via the USB port, and it also includes a microSD memory card slot that's compatible with cards up to 32 GB in size. The USBConnect Lightning makes connecting in more places easier as it can be used at AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots (with a Wi-Fi enabled laptop and qualified data plan). Additionally, it offers global compatibility with DataConnect Global plans covering additional data usage in select roam zones in more than two dozen countries, including many European countries, India, China, South Korea and Japan. The USBConnect Lightning runs on AT&T's 3G High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) wireless network, which has upload speeds between 500 Kbps and 1.2 Mbps and enhanced download speeds ranging between 700 Kbps and 1.7 Mbps.

AT&T is the first U.S. carrier to deploy enhanced upload speeds through High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) in its HSPA network. HSPA is the latest generation of mobile broadband technology based upon the global standard for wireless--GSM.
