The PC5750 also has a memory capacity of 64 MB Flash / 32 MB RAM that is eight times greater than that of earlier UTStarcom mobile connectivity cards.
In addition to the high-speed advantages offered by the PC5750, the card employs a CDMA wireless technology authentication and identification security system, designed to help assure the integrity of mobile computing functions and data. The Mobile Identification Number (MIN) and Electronic Serial Number (ESN), together with CDMA spread technology, are designed to make it virtually impossible for unauthorized users to capture and decipher information.
