The company was already the first American firm to have any kind of femtocell in the Samsung Airave but now says to Unstrung that it should beat AT&T to having a device that can share 3G data with the home, improving reception for some smartphones and other devices that don't have their own Wi-... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/02/sprint.3g.femtocell.soon/ Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:55:00 GMT Cisco offers Linksys 802.11n router with Linux http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/23/cisco.wrt160nl.router/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/ciscowrt160nl.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Cisco today aimed its Linksys routers at the open-source community with its first modern-era, 802.11n Wi-Fi router using Linux.

A new 35Mbps plan offers a balance between more typical speeds and the 50Mbps maximum tier; it also has the same 20Mbps upload speeds as the previous symmetric 20/20 tier and the 50Mbps service; the speed would let it upload an hour-long 720p HDTV show in 20 minutes.
