Yesterday, Motorola (NYSE: MOT) announced the world’s first WiMAX USB adapter, USBw 100. Coming in size as a regular 3G USB modem, the device will be available in three versions, each operating at a different frequency (2.3GHz, 2.5GHz and 3.5 GHz) that is used on WiMAX networks around the world.
Apparently, the device will work on virtually all laptops produced withing the last five years, though we’re not sure about the Linux support at this stage. Hopefully that will also be fixed in the coming months.
And that’s about all we know at this stage. Plus there’s a release date, which is slated for the fourth quarter of the year. Pricing is unknown, but I’ve no doubts carriers will subsidize the USBw 100 to get users to sign-up contracts…
