3G Express Card
The 3G Express Card is an interface to allow peripheral devices to be connected to a computer, usually a laptop computer. The ExpressCard standard specifies the design of slots built into the computer and of cards which can be inserted into ExpressCard slots. The cards contain electronic circuitry and connectors to which external devices can be connected. The ExpressCard standard replaces the PC card (also known as PCMCIA or CardBus) standards.
ExpressCard plug-in hardware available includes connect cards, FireWire 800 (1394B), Serial ATA external disk drives, solid-state drives, external enclosures for desktop size PCI Express graphics cards for use with laptops with weak internal graphics (such as the Vidock 4), wireless network interface cards, TV tuner cards, common access card (CAC) readers, and soundcards. Media remote control units are available that use the ExpressCard slot to store and recharge
The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) developed both the ExpressCard standard and the PCCard standards.
