UQ Communications has announced they will use new devices, the OKI USB device and WiFi combination.
Sound like a good idea, carry a USB device around to access the Wireless Broadband network, and when you arrive at home, plug it into the router and provide Internet access to different devices over WiFi.
What I don’t understand is:
- Link Budget. OKI claims the USB device is capable of +23dbm,which was also certified by the WiMAX Forum . I really doubt this USB device is capable of overcoming walls and windows to provide a reasonable experience.
- How come only Windows is supported for the USB device? I am sure the WiFi Router is not running Windows.
UQ Communications provided a press kit which includes the manuals and some wonderful images (attached below):
