The modem drivers and enabling software (Watcher) monitor and manage your 
wireless connections.

Your modem uses the Sierra Wireless TRU-Install feature—the drivers and 
software are installed when you insert the modem into your computer.

The device driver software enables the modem to work with your computer’s 
operating system.

Using the Watcher software, you can manage the modem and monitor your 
connections.

Companies that operate 

 networks and provide access to these networks 

are called service providers. To use the modem, you must have an account with a 
CDMA service provider.

Each service provider has its own pricing options. There may be flat rate 
accounts, which provide you a maximum number of minutes of network usage for 
a fixed monthly fee. There may be accounts for which you are charged for 
network usage by the minute or by the amount of data transmitted.

Your account may include a variety of other services such as SMS messaging or 
location-based services.

Each modem has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service 
provider. This sets the modem to use particular radio channels and enables 
services specific for that provider.

The process of setting up your account is called activation. Activation involves 
action by the service provider and configuration of the modem.

The procedure to configure (activate) your modem is covered in 

 networks is 

This is the worldwide infrastructure providing the radio coverage that allows you 
to stay connected. Made up of radio towers and a variety of network switches, 
routers, and servers, the network is an interconnection of many service providers.

There are 

 networks that operate in the frequency bands supported by the 

modem throughout North America and parts of Latin America, Asia, and New 
Zealand. However, each service provider operates a network that covers a limited 
geographical area within the overall CDMA coverage area.
