[ANSS-netops] 4G Sierra Wireless modems

[David S. Croker]

For what it's worth...

In looking up some specs the other day on the Sierra Wireless RavenX 
modems I discovered that SW has finally come out with a 4G version of 
modem, named the AirLink GX440.  They claim it is "Certified on the 
Verizon Wireless LTE network and commercially available in Q1 2012" 
and in a "rugged" package.  I didn't make any further inquiries 
because we aren't looking for such bandwidth yet in a cellular modem 
(5-12Gbps), but I thought I'd let you all know.  I'm also not sure 
what sort of data plans are available from Verizon for 4G, but I am 
meeting with my rep next week so I'll get it from him then.  I know, 
what good am I?
