I have a Merlin C201 data card for my laptop.
Will a Sierra Wireless AirCard 550 get better reception with its antenna
(or any other reason)?
There's a place I go quite often that I get terrible signal with the Merlin
card, I'm wondering if the 550 will do any better?
TIA

I don't *know* this for sure, but have seen both a Merlin and the Sierra=20
card when I worked in a SPCS call center. At that time, both cards=20
seemed to get the same coverage at that location.
Given the relatively large amount of electrical/electrnic activity going=20
on right within a few centimeters of the card's antenna (internal or=20
not), I suspect it won't make much of a difference.

Re: Data card question
Just an update,
I bought a Sierra Wireless AirCard 550 and went to the same place I was
having problems with the Merlin card (my in-laws) and it, the 550, worked
great!!
Big difference over the Merlin.
Good signal and speeds range from 53-90 kbps down.
