Android Device Use

Android operating system support allows the card to function with compatible Android devices that have USB host capabilities, expanding its usefulness beyond traditional computers.

Power and Interface

The card uses a USB 3.0 interface for data transfer and requires a working voltage of 5.0V. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, though performance may be reduced.

Usage and Practical Considerations

The card is suited for indoor use where network connectivity is needed. Understanding its operating limits helps ensure reliable performance.
