Novatel is ready to ride the WiMAX wave and has announced that it has successfully completed over the air testing of its new MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot prototype based on 4G WiMAX.
"Novatel Wireless is pleased to support the growing 4G ecosystem and the evolution of next-generation communications with this milestone WiMAX call," said Rob Hadley, CMO, Novatel Wireless. "The combination of our intelligent software platform on MiFi with 4G speeds from Beceem's high-performance 4G-WiMAX chips will open up new opportunities for the growing number of initiatives involving 4G mobile broadband applications and services."
According to Novatel, it was immediately able to achieve throughput of 18Mbps in over the air testing, and that's just the beginning. The company's MiFi prototype is capable of throughput speeds in excess of 30Mpbs downloads and 10Mpbs uploads in a 10MHz channel, Novatel added.

Thats because youa re rocking T-Mobile. If you were on any other carrier you would already have 3G, and if on Spring possibly 4G, since they have it rolled out to 1/3 of the country already.

4G? 3G is only now starting to become easy to use. No longer spotty and just starting to become reliable. When can I expect 4G wireless in Phoenix? And at T-Mobile.
