The adapter consists of a flat plastic sleeve with a 50 cm cable that terminates in a SMA (female) connector.
The plastic sleeve (that looks similar to a cellphone battery) encloses a device that is able to couple to the
datacard signal and divert it to a booster antenna thereby ensuring better datacard signal reception.
The sleeve of the coupler is placed against the top of the datacard (see photos). (The coupler is supplied
with a small piece of Velcro that your can use to ensure a more secure connection to your datacard). You
then connect the other end of coupler to one of our booster antennas via the SMA (female) connector. The
booster antenna can be mounted on the outside of the building and pointed to your closest cellular base
station to ensure good reception.
Features:
Works with Huawei E220 USB Datacard
Lightweight
Robust
Application:
Connecting 3G/HSDPA Datacards to a high gain antenna for improved range and communication.

The 3G/HSDPA Datacard-to-Antenna Adaptor looks pretty interesting. I wonder if it actually works though or if its more like one of those dodgy mobile phone arial adaptors that you used to be able to pick up on eBay?

Has anyone seen much by way of pricing for such 3G/HSDPA connections? Strikes me as a really expensive way of doing things...

The prices for mobile broadband are starting to drop as technology progresses.
Top10 Broadband have a very good comparison chart of providers

From the reviews you can read on this link it looks like it works quite well!

CELEBRATING THE FACT that it made mobile broadband affordable a year ago today with its £10 Pay-as-you-go tariff, 3 aims to do the same thing for mobile email and surfing.

T-Mobile UK has announced a range of prepaid mobile broadband options that come with a USB dongle for a laptop, taking on the wildly successful similar offering from 3. This move also shows how the mobile data sector is changing quickly to support new revenue streams and new breeds of users for the hard pressed tellcos.

AFAIK, it's a coupler-plate to add a 3rd-party aerial, so providing the data-rate of a strong signal. A Laptop 3G USB modem (3 Mobile, I think) reported a good reception in my HU1 flat, but my friend & landlord bemoaned its speed at all times, especially back in London.

Alternative mobile-broadband kits are a 3G Router with a good antenna (www.3grouterstore.co.uk); or a Super-3G/3.5G/3G modem with an SMA connector + antenna + a router (DrayTek/Solwise/Billion/etc) with a PCMCIA or USB modem input (www.nucleusnetworks.co.uk)

A new mobile broadband backhaul solution is being marketed with the claim that the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) used will help maintain the infrastructure behind future next-generation networks.

Testing has already begun on 4G mobile broadband, with long-term evolution (LTE) technology expected to allow for significant speed increases in the future.

At ATIS’s long-term evolution conference last week, Hank Kafka, vice president of network architecture for AT&T, delivered the most succinct and sensible analysis to date on the need for 4G. He summed up the operator’s decision with two questions: “How much data are you likely to sell?” and “What are your production costs for that data?"
