Full FeedSierra Wireless intro’s the compact Compass 597 USB modem
Sierra Wireless has announced the Compass 597 USB modem, which according to them “is smaller than any EV-DO Rev A USB modem in the market today.” Which I suppose as with anything mobile, a smaller size should be greatly appreciated. Less bulk to carry around and when it comes to a modem, its also less to protrude from your laptop and possibly get caught and damaged.
The Sierra Wireless Compass 597 USB modem may be small in size, but still has a full range of solid specs. The Compass 597 will offer speeds up to 3.1 Mbps down and 1.8 Mbps up, has a built-in microSD card slot for additional storage and features TRU-install automatic software which should make installation and use very simple. The Compass 597 also features Data Antenna, A-GPS, Data Traffic and PowerSave which offers power management. The Compass 597 will be available beginning in Q2 2008, no word yet on pricing.
