 The unique U111 and the U111-M are designed to support PCMCIA cards such as memory cards, networking cards, including UMTS cards and GSM wireless modems, through a USB connection.
To work with the Sierra Wireless AirCards you need the latest U111 driver which you can download HERE !
Using the U111 in Windows Vista !
The U111 is the only solution available to OEMs and integrators who need to support a PCMCIA product and have only a USB connection available. Elan can adapt the U111 hardware and produce custom software to support the required PC card.
The included Windows 2000/XP driver is also working on the new Apple Mac's with Intel Processors !
Derivative Models Available for Purchase !
U111-530/630: Supports the Novatel Wireless Merlin 530/630 PCMCIA 3G/UMTS Cards and the Sierra Wireless Aircards. These cards are offered by many mobile phone operators world-wide like Vodafone Germany, O2 (UK, Ireland, Poland, Germany, Asia), Hutchison, PTC, Optimus, Orange and more.
Supported Cards
U111-M: USB adapters for CF memory cards are widely available, but there are very few models around that support full size PCMCIA. The U111-M is perfect for applications where PCMCIA cards are still being used, and the host PC no longer has PCMCIA connectivity.
