There are many names, USB Modem Stick, USB Wireless Modem, or USB Wireless Internet Modem, this allows access to the Internet over cell towers.
This USB chip or stick has the modem software on it, you insert, the programs load and you have an interface that allows you to connect. This one is Togo in Guatemala and can be used through the whole country where there are Cell Towers. I can use Skye.com and call people. This is quickly become the standard in countries without normal land lines.
Problems:
1. Regular WIFE Internet connections can interfere, turn off the WIFI connection.
