Most 3G network operators bundle the device with a contract, with some operators simlocking[6] the device . A SIM lock, simlock, network lock or subsidy lock &mdash not to be confused with PIN or PUK code &mdash is a capability Unlocked and unbranded modems can also be bought from independent suppliers.

Features

The device contains not only the cellular antenna but also about 22MB (10 MB on older versions) of storage memory accessible to the operating system as a USB mass storage device[7] formatted with CDFS, thus emulating a CD-ROM drive. CDfs is a virtual Linux File system that provides access to individual data and audio tracks on Compact discs A compact disc mounted with the "CDfs" In this memory, E220 devices supplied by mobile operators may contain 3G dialer software written by the operator, while Huawei-branded devices contain Huawei's original firmware. In Computing, firmware is a computer program that is Embedded in a hardware device for example a Microcontroller. Huawei's firmware and updates for it are also available for flashing from Huawei's website[8], or the newest firmware 7. 2Mbps from MobileConnected (in reality 'flashing' this device means writing a firmware image to its internal flash memory), but users are warned that flashing the device with Huawei's software will erase the software of their operator and along with it the APN settings as well. Access Point Name or APN is the name of an access point for GPRS. It is, however, very easy to back up the software already present on the device's memory. The software loaded on the device may start automatically through Windows's autostart facility, which can be bypassed by pressing the Shift key while inserting the USB cable of E220.

Hardware

E220 connects to the computer with a standard Mini USB cable. The device comes with two cables, one short and one long. The long one has two USB A interfaces, one used for data and power and the other optionally only for assistance power in case the computer is not able to provide the full 500 mA (milliamperes) required for the device to work from one USB interface only. The ampere, in practice often shortened to amp, (symbol A is a unit of Electric current, or amount of Electric charge per second

The E220 antenna is internal; the USB cable does not act as an antenna. There is a way to connect an external antenna [9] even though there is no antenna connector. Together with a high gain antenna like an LPDA or an OMNI booster antenna and an adapter, signal strength can be considerably improved. In Telecommunication, a log-periodic antenna ( LP, also known as a log-periodic array) is a Broadband, multielement
