WiMAX has been around for a while, but it’s rollout has been slow. Now, Sprint is offering a WiMAX modem for their 4G network that will offer home desktop users speeds of 3-6 Mbps. The intended target is people who live in areas where cable or DSL internet isn’t available, but Sprint’s 4G coverage is.
The Motorola modem, which was previously sold with Clearwire’s WiMAX internet service, will set Sprint consumers back $150. The monthly fee will be $50 per month, with a two-year agreement. Thankfully, Sprint isn’t capping the bandwidth (yet) on these modems. The modem itself isn’t anything special, just a simple WiMAX radio and an Ethernet port.
Surely there are places where cable and DSL internet aren’t available, but how many of those places will have solid 4G coverage? Sprint’s strategy may be a bit confusing. Their monthly rates are good – in fact, beat most competing AirCard rates from AT&T and Verizon. For those interested, the Sprint Home WiMAX modem is now out.
