Motorola has a new add-on for their WiMAX USBw 200 adapter. It's effectively a docking station for the mobile adapter with it's own power supply and larger antenna. The larger docking station sits upright and accepts the USB WiMAX adapter into its center. The elevation and angle should provide a modest improvement in signal by itself. Using the docking station's dual internal antennas the sensitivity of the unit is roughly doubled from 3db up to 6db. The USBw 200 adapter doesn't need any other drivers to support the docking station. The USB dongle has all the drivers you need within its on-board flash memory. Unfortunately, the USBw 200 only has drivers for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. WiMAX service is only available in a few select cities but continues to roll out. Service may not be available for you yet, but the USBw 200 has been out for a few months and the new docking station should arrive later this year. We expect more pricing details as the shipping date (Q2 2010) gets closer.
