Motorola has won a second consecutive Industry Choice Award. This award is given to the most innovative and esteemed product deployments – Motorola took the award for their WiMAX USB 100 Adaptor for laptop computers.

“As WiMAX and other high-speed technologies continue to gain traction around the world, Motorola will continue to be in the forefront of designing innovative products and solutions that let consumers and enterprises enjoy the benefits of broadband everywhere,” said Darren McQueen, vice president, Wireless Broadband Access Technologies, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility.

Shaped like a thumb drive, the USBw 100 offers indoor and outdoor mobile and nomadic wireless connectivity through WiMAX networks operating in the 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands. The USBw 100 plugs into a USB port on a laptop and quickly connects to an available WiMAX network. Users on the go are free to surf the web, check emails, and stream video and audio files just as they would from a home computer. The USBw 100 is expected to be available in Q4 2008.
