WIFI and Aircard wireless are two different technologies. Aircards use cellular technology and come in PC Card, Express Card, and USB formats to match a connection option that your laptop supports. Check with your local cellular providers for cards that work with their infrastructure. Once a specific card model is decided upon, compare the price the cellular provider offers the card for against a Google search (http://www.google.com) for the card brand and model, sifting through the results, or by using a pricing site like Pricegrabber (http://www.pricegrabber.com).
