Sprint's Mac-Friendly U301 3G/4G WiMAX Modem Revealed Will Introduce 4G Access To Snow Leopard Mac Users

Sprint has quietly introduced the Mac-friendly U301 3G/4G WiMAX modem
which will be the first to bring 4G mobile internet to Snow Leopard
users.ย The Sprint U301 modem also features a new, sleek black design
with a rotating USB connection to provide for an easier fit in tight spaces.
The new Sprint U301 modem is the first of its kind to extend Sprint's 4G
mobile network across the latest PC and Mac operating systems.ย While
having released this modem without much fanfare, the news is likely to
excite Mac users who desire the latest in mobile speed for their
notebooks.ย That speed is between 3-6Mbps in available Sprint coverage
areas, which at present includes most major U.S. cities.ย For those
outside of 4G coverage, the Sprint U301 modem will receive download
speeds between 600Kbps to 1.4Mbps on EVDO Revision A-based 3G networks
where available.
The Sprint U301 3G/4G WiMAX modem does not yet have a release date or
pricing, but the U300 model is still available for PC users.ย Expect
the Sprint U301 to be priced at or around the $349.99 retail price of
the U300 version.
