Re: [PLUG] WiMax First Looks
|
I just logged into the dealer portal earlier today. Apparently there
are external antenna available, at least for the PC-Cards, which they
don't seem to be offering in Philly, or at least pushing. If you are
interested, I believe I can still get the PC-Card and the external
antenna.
I think the reason they are pushing the USB adapter is because they
are easy to install and widely usable.
