 | Accelerate at high speed with the first dual-mode shareable device of its kind-available only from Sprint. Now you can extend your 3G and 4G (4G Network available in select cities) experience beyond your laptop to any Wi-Fi-enabled device such as cameras, music players and portable game consoles. And because it supports up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices, you can share your high-speed connection with friends, family, co-workers and customers. 16 GB of shared storage and no software or activation to fuss with, the Overdrive is a must have for work or play, home or away. Compatible with Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000, Mac OS X, and Linux - and a plethora of wireless-enabled devices (laptops, iPod Touch, iPhone, wireless-enabled PDAs, gaming systems, etc). The 3G/4G Overdrive by Sierra Wireless has been a hot product - and a hot topic - since its debut on Sprint's network earlier this year. Like the uber-popular Novatel MiFi, which was the first 3G portable hotspot, the Overdrive combines the premise of an aircard and mobile broadband router in one convenient unit, allowing users to share their mobile broadband connection with multiple computers or other WiFi-enabled devices (hand-held gaming devices, iPhones, iPod Touch, etc etc). With its embedded 3G and 4G capabilities, Overdrive users can connect to both Sprint's nationwide EVDO Rev-A 3G network as well as the new 4G WiMAX network. In addition to the obvious benefit of being a dual-mode device, the Overdrive is packed with features and functions that make it a groundbreaking device: up to five users can connect via WiFi from up to 150 feet away (plus one additional computer can be directly connected via USB), there's a unique LED screen on the front of the unit that displays helpful status information and notices, a microSD slot allows you to use the unit as shared storage drive, its built-in battery provides up to 3 hours of usage time and recharges quickly, and the web admin is incredibly thorough and user configurable. | | |
