Sierra AirCard USB305, Factory Refurbished
Here is the Sierra AirCard USB305, Sierra Wireless's GSM-family USB laptop modem, graded Factory Refurbished. Exporters who stock plug-in modems for buyers in regions where 3G UMTS still runs are the fit for this one, with IT surplus buyers taking smaller counts as spares; confirm the carrier version and lock state with your account manager before quoting.
The Sierra Wireless AirCard USB 305 is a compact USB mobile-broadband modem from around 2010 for GSM-family networks, best known in the US as an AT&T-sold stick for laptops. It is bus powered, has a swivel USB connector, and loads its connection software from onboard memory. The packet includes no description, so this page states only the model, the USB form factor, and the Factory Refurbished grade from the SKU.
TG Wireless sells it to exporters who supply laptop modems to markets with live 3G service, to IT surplus buyers maintaining older kits, and to parts and collector buyers. On US networks it is retired.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The USB 305 is a 3G-era GSM-family modem without LTE, so it has no US service: the national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Where an unlocked unit meets a live UMTS or GSM network abroad with matching bands, it still provides a laptop data connection, which is the only working use outside collector display and parts.
Resale fit
- Exporters supplying USB laptop modems to markets where 3G UMTS is still live.
- IT surplus and asset-recovery buyers keeping legacy kits complete.
- Parts and collector units.
