Wimax PC Cards Will Increase the Spread of Wimax Usage

The climate around Wimax technology reminds me of the late 1990s when cellular carrier first started to offer wireless Internet to the world. It is exciting, dynamic and full of promise. Clearwire, the broadband and voice provider that delivers service via Wimax technology, has released a Wimax PC Card in partner with Motorola. The PC Card will allow for easy mobility, something that was lacking with their original wireless modem, which should make this an ideal solution for mobile Internet users where coverage is available. With download speeds up to 1.5 Mbps, the service is comparable to EV-DO and at $80 per month on a one year contract or $60 per month on a two year contract, the pricing is very competitive.

Even though Clearwire’s service is not available everywhere the emergence of their Wimax cards means that Wimax is poised to make a big splash in 2008; that is if you live in a big city. Buffalo should see Wimax around 2020.
