A new device has been added to the Frame to connect to 3G networks. The settings for the 3G connection can be made in a Control Panel section. Learners will be able to access internet in more situations. Developers and Educators from [http://www.ceibal.edu.uy/ Plan Ceibal] and [http://www.paraguayeduca.org/ Paraguay Educa] have been working together to add this new Feature to Sugar.

You can use your GSM modem with Sugar to connect to the Internet. GSM modems are often found in today's mobile phones but there exist as well standalone modems that can be connected over USB with the computer. When a GSM modem is attached a device will be added to the Sugar Frame from where you can connect to the Internet. The settings for the connection (like provider and password) can be made in a Control Panel section. This [[Features/3G_Support | Feature]] will allow learners to access the Internet in more situations.
