Sprint has just announced the latest addition to its mobile broadband modem lineup. The 250U has dual external antenna ports and a 180-degree hinge that allows it to fit in virtually any laptop USB port. It is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, and XP as well as Mac OS computers.
The 250U is equipped with two LED indicators so that you can easily determine whether it is currently connected to the 3G or 4G network. When used on the 3G network, an internal GPS provides additional location and navigation features. When used in one of Sprint’s 33 4G markets peak download speeds are more than 10 Mbps; peak download speeds in 3G areas can be up to 3.1 Mbps.
The 250U is now available through Sprint’s Business Direct and Business Solutions Partners and will be widely available to all channels by mid-July. The peripheral is free after a $50 mail-in rebate, $49.99 instant savings, and a new two-year service agreement. Monthly service charges are $59.99, which includes unlimited 4G data and 5GB of data on Sprint’s 3G network.
