USB EVDO modem for wireless broadband

updated 07:00 pm EDT, Mon August 7, 2006

MacBook, mobile broadband


Franklin Wireless has unveiled the CDU-550 USB modem, offering laptop owners without ExpressCard slots such as Apple's MacBook a means to access mobile broadband. Notebook owners with ExpressCard slots can use the V640 EVDO card for Verizon as well as the S640 card for Sprint, but MacBook owners were left out in the cold. The new modem features USB 2.0 connectivity as well as support for Mac OS X, and an early test demonstrated that even UMPC users can expect real performance when on the road, according to Electronista (pricing was unavailable).
