Motorola introduces WiMAX USB adapter

Motorola, Inc. announced Tuesday its first WiMAX USB adapter, the model USBw 100. At the size of a thumb-drive, the diminutive device packs a lot of broadband performance into a small space. Three versions of the stick will be available, depending on the supported frequency band — 2.3, 2.5 or 3.5 GHz. The Motorola USBw 100 plugs directly into laptop computers to provide mobile and nomadic wireless broadband connectivity, both indoors and out. It is expected to be available in Q4 2008.

Motorola’s wi4 WiMAX USB adaptor has been designed with multiple antenna technology for improved signal coverage in tough to reach places. The company offers an additional performance boost if the USB dongle is connecting with either the dual antenna Diversity Access Point (DAP) or Wireless Access Point (WAP) 400 Series. In that configuration, both the uplink and downlink performance for the customer are significantly enhanced.
