WiMax Laptop Card Approved by FCC
By Larry Hendrick | May 2, 2007
The ability to connect via WiMax has been the missing link in the wireless camp. Clearwire now has an approved PC card for WiMax, leading me to think this technology will now take off.

Regulators have approved the first WiMax wireless broadband laptop PC card to be offered by Clearwire Corp., and it should be available to users later this year, the company said Tuesday.
Federal Communications Commission approved a WiMax laptop PC card that fits into a standard Type II laptop card slot and can be used with the Windows Vista and XP operating systems, Clearwire said in a statement. The card works on Clearwire’s WiMax network, which has been built with Motorola Inc. wi4 Expedience wireless networking equipment.
