module. MobiLink provides an
easy interface to make a data connection, change operating parameters, and view alerts such as
SMS or signal strength indicator. However, anyone can still install the drivers manually. In
addition, once the drivers are installed, following the Wistron Client API functions, anyone could develop their
Client side software manager to interact with the USB Card.
