device and requires no software or network configuration to use it. The key use case
and benefit of NovaSpeed
TM
is in a multi-tasking environment. It significantly boosts
performance of download speeds while an upload is in progress. e.g. watching YouTube

significant negative performance impact on any concurrent download. NovaSpeed
TM
provides enhanced performance in this scenario.
Q: How will the use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection affect the data
transfer speed of the Novatel Wireless Merlin C777 Card?
A: Since a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection increases the amount of data being
transferred for security purposes, the average data transfer speed will be reduced by its
use. The amount of degradation in the data transfer speed will depend upon the level of
security/encryption in place and may be reduced by consulting the IT administrator in
charge of your VPN.
Q: Is it possible to use an external antenna with the Merlin C777 Card?
A: In areas of weak coverage, an external antenna can boost signal strength. The external
antenna connects directly into the Merlin C777 card via the antenna connector located
on the end of the device. To purchase an external antenna, visit the online store at
http://nexaira.com/estore. The antenna is an SMK TS-9 connector type.
Q: What is “GPS Navigation Capable” feature that is stated on the packaging of the
Novatel Wireless Merlin C777 card and can I use this capability now?
A: The GPS feature (or “locations”) is accessible through Sprint SmartView, allowing access
to “locate and search” capabilities such as the nearest bank, restaurant, gas station, etc.
Q: Is the GPS feature compatible with my navigation software?
A: To use applications such as Microsoft “Street and Trips”, you must first find which GPS
com port (also referred to as NMEA port) the device is using and configure your
application to use the same port as the GPS Receiver for your device on Sprint
SmartView.
To determine which port your device is using refer to the Sprint SmartView help section
for more information.
