Sprint to get 4G Mobile Hotspot from Sierra Wireless soon
We get the feeling that early 2010 is going to be big for Sprint’s WiMax. We came by one of these training slides for a new 3G/4G mobile hotspot, precisely like the Mi-Fi, for Sprint. Like many of Sprint’s wireless data cards, this one is also going to be made by Sierra Wireless. What we’re hearing is that this new device will be able to support up to five users via Wi-Fi and its range is being increased to 100 feet. In addition to the added range and power, it will also support SD card storage; while that doesn’t sound like a big deal, the data can be shared by every user who is connected to the data card. No official pricing or release date just yet, but we’re looking at a possibly February launch for this dual 3G-4G wireless hotspot in your pocket.
What a coincidence, I messaged Marc about this this morning… about how I wanted Sprint to have a 4G MiFi thing, and now… they do. WEIRD

Technically its 3G/4G so it will be CDMA EVDO A and WiMAx..

Touche. But the main point of this is the WiMax aspect of it. While I still like the proposition LTE brings towards moving to 4G for mobile phones, I do like the prospect of WiMax for last-mile delivery of nearlu-stationary internet services (I say that with respect to laptop users
), and perhaps even TV delivery. I’m actually surprised AT&T isn’t investing in WiMax at all for its residential services, since it isn’t doing the FTTP for its U-Verse product as Verizon does with FiOS.
Excellent!!! I can’t wait!

Yes, my friend… yes you CAN wait, and you WILL wait. You have no choice BUT to wait. People really overuse this phrase.

No no no no no no no. Sprint already has the same mifi device that vzw has, this would be a 4G mifi-like device that supports wireless data via wimax.

Some people are just idiots. Sprint had the mifi before Verizon and At&t. This would be something completely different and new. Verizon might have something like this in 2 years when LTE launches.
@ Sam…….did you read the article? Sprint’s had a 3G MiFi device for months and months, it’s silver and better looking that Verizons. Not all plastic.
I really wish people would read the story before making comments
Examples:
CDMA?
VZW and ATT having the same thing for months?
Do you people even read the story or know what the story is talking about? I mean come-on… the heading has 4G written all over it and we have idiots here talking about CDMA and the other US carriers which have no 4G right now… I’m sorry I usually don’t post comments but I can’t believe how stupid some people can be…

Then head on out and let us have an intelligent conversation on this new device. Go suck off Verizon or AT&T on one of their lame topics.

I’m not even sure what your point is here? You wrote something that had nothing to do with what you or i wrote. No wonder you choose to pay more money for your carrier service and i reap the same exact benefits. Sucks to be you!

This is sweet! Sprint is really gettin after it here. “Unlimited” 4G, like on their mobile boradband card? If so, this will make VZ’s 3G MiFi go 6 feet under with their 5 gig cap.
I’v been waiting for a 4G MiFi product to upgrade from my 3G device. Can’t wait!
Verizon is overpriced..I’m glad I switched to Sprint…same service less price …It just makes sense ;-
really cool technology, don’t u think? wireless rocks
약 2년전 문화방송 MBC가 방송한 PD수첩이 라는 제목으로 방영한 내용을 보면 [예수교 신천지 증거장막성전(신천지)]이 마치 ,가정파탄의주역, 청소년 가출및 비행조장, 공금횡령,감금,폭행을 자행하는 비사회적, 광신적 종교집단 으로 매도한 방송을 한적이 있었다.
신천지는 예수님이 교주이며 모든것을 예수님의 말씀과 성경에 입각하여 신앙을 하며 건전한 신앙인, 건전한 사회인 으로써 살아가는 것을 원칙으로 하고 있다.
그러나 MBC는 제보자의 검증 없는 편향적 방송에 대해 신천지는 즉각 항의하였으나 2년이 지난후 법원의 판결에 의한 정정보도를 하기에 이르렀다
이러한 모든것들은 단순한 제보자의 탓으로 돌리는 MBC의 처세는 경악을 금치 못하는 사태로 이어졌다. 모든것을 아무렇지 않은것으로 생각하는 무책임한 행동이 결국 PD수첩의 존망의 기로에 놓이게 되었다.
7만이 넘는 신천지인 들은 성경에 의한 성경대로 신앙을 하고 있는 것이다 어떠한 음모와 비방도 기존의 타락한 기독교인들과 달리 예수님의 말씀대로 살려고 노력하는 우리를 해칠수는 없는 것이다.
I have a verizon one and it works really well. If sprint gets it then I can finally be totally sprint!
Miguel, you knew that cheer pretty well. Sounds like your the cheerleader, bitch!!
Thanks miguel. What color is your uniform? No wait, this is useless non-sense……F OFF!
Now we know the color of Miguals cheer leader uniform – Red and Black! So cute
