The first WiMAX capable notebook card has been approved for sale in the USA by the FCC. Clearwire Mobile which has a wireless network covering several communities in California, Florida and Washington received the go ahead to use the new Motorola Experience card, which Clearwire itself designed before selling its R&D division to Motorola.
“The FCC’s approval of our laptop card is a significant milestone in bringing to market a ‘true broadband’ wireless service with a device that facilitates even greater portability than our existing modem permits,” said Perry Satterlee, Clearwire president and chief operating officer. “We expect the new laptop card to broaden our potential customer base with more opportunities for customers to access and experience our fast, simple, portable, reliable and affordable wireless broadband services.”
“Motorola’s Expedience wireless access system delivers high speed, nomadic broadband access for Clearwire’s customers, and our new laptop card will give them even more convenience as they connect to the information, entertainment and people that are important to them,” said Fred Wright, senior vice president, Motorola Networks & Enterprise.
The new Clearwire laptop card is part of Motorola’s wi4 Expedience solutions. The high performance, wireless access modem is a true non-line-of-sight device, requiring only a simple driver to be added to the customer’s computer. The product fits into a standard Type II laptop card slot on portable computing devices and is compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista and XP operating systems.
There is no word on pricing as yet.
