WiMAX USB adaptor for laptops
This thumb-drive-sized device is available in three versions to connect to WiMAX networks in each of the three bands approved for use around the world – 2,3GHz, 2,5GHz and 3,5GHz.
The Motorola USBw 100 is designed to plug directly into laptop computers to provide mobile and nomadic wireless broadband connectivity, both indoors and out. It is expected to be available in Q4.
Motorola’s wi4 WiMAX USB adaptor has been designed with multiple antenna technology to provide reliable, high-speed connectivity in the various environments where users expect service, especially indoor home, business and coffee shop environments, as well as on-the-go in a mobile world.
The USBw 100 is claimed to deliver increased range and higher throughput when compared with single-antenna solutions. When used with Motorola’s dual antenna Diversity Access Point (DAP) /Wireless Access Point (WAP) 400 Series, both uplink and downlink performance are significantly enhanced, the company says.
The device, which easily plugs into the USB port, is designed to seamlessly connect the laptop computer to a WIMAX broadband network for reliable, easy, high-speed connection for e-mail, Web surfing, video and audio streaming, GPS services, Internet phone calls and other uses.
"Our USBw 100 adaptor will let people enjoy desktop-like performance while on the go with their laptop computers by giving them wireless connectivity to a WiMAX service provider’s broadband wireless network," says Charles Riggle, senior director of strategy and business development, WiMAX devices, Home & Networks Mobility.
