Verizon is launching their new 4G LTE service tomorrow. They are announcing 2 new USB 3G/4G Modems. Here is what we know about them so far:
LG VL600 Features:
- 4G LTE / CDMA Only – Not Global
- Fixed USB connector
- Support NDIS/LAN adapter
- USB Extension Cable
- External antenna port
- VZAM in the box
- NOT Mac OS X compatible at launch
- GPS not supported at launch
- SIM Card Slot – under back cover
Pantech UML290 Features:
- 4G LTE / 3G GSM Global Ready (this will occur after launch)
- 180 Degree rotating USB connector, folds away for storage
- USB Extension Cable
- External antenna port
- VZAM in the box
- NOT Mac OS X compatible at launch
- GPS not supported at launch
- SIM Card Slot – under back cover
Both devices use the 4G LTE SIM Card. VZW 4G SIM Card portability provides additional flexibility by allowing customers to seamlessly switch between VZW Certified Modems. The Verizon Wireless 4G SIM card can be secured by enabling the SIM Personal Identification Number (PIN).
For those of you that require 3G/4G Router use, at launch, no routers will be compatible. For those that need external antennas and amplifiers, keep in mind that 4G is on the 700Mhz frequency, so that current antennas and amps will only work if they are rated for that frequency (most are not).
