Clearwire Prepping a WiMax Wi-Fi Router For Portable 4G Hotspots

Clearwire early Wimax adopters will soon be able to buy a portable Wi-Fi router that will broadcast your ultra-fat 4G pipe to everyone within range of your pocketable little router.

Sidecut Reports spotted the little rig (in prototype form here) at Clearwire’s Portland WiMax launch. It’s basically a Cradlepoint device and it will supposedly be on sale for around $US125 by February in Clearwire’s launch markets.

But don’t believe the marketing hooey from Clearwire that they’re the only network provider encouraging such uses–he obviously hasn’t seen Sprint’s Cradlepoint. [Sidecut Reports via Electronista]
