The first 3G/4G WiMAX modemFutureproofing your gear is always a smart idea.  Why pick up a 3G USB modem when you can get a combination 3G and 4G WiMAX modem instead? 

Beceem Communications and Franklin Wireless has put together “the world’s first dual-mode 3G CDMA/4G WiMAX USB Modem, the Franklin U300.”  After years of false starts, WiMAX is finally taking off.  The modem can support 10 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up over WiMAX.  Over EVDO, it can handle 3.1 Mbps down and 1.8 Mbps up.  The modem is compatible with Windows 2000 and higher.

If you’re unfamiliar with WiMAX, it’s a fast, wireless Internet connection with a much larger range than Wi-Fi.  Plenty of manufacturers are building WiMAX into their machines.  If you’ve got an older machine or are looking for a device that lets you connect to multiple machines, a USB solution may be your best bet.
