AlwaysBEthere subsidiary BlueMobility used its first appearance at a Macworld Conference & Expo to offer attendees information about its wireless Internet services for PowerBook and iBook users.
BlueMobility’s kit provides an integrated solution for Mac-toting road warriors for whom WiFi spots just aren’t enough. The company supports digital phone-based networking capabilities for more than 20 different telephones that connect to your PowerBook or iBook through Bluetooth or a USB cable, as well as PC Card interfaces for thusly equipped PowerBook models.
BlueMobility offers coverage through Sprint’s PCS network throughout the United States. The company claims that Sprint’s network covers more than 750,000 square milles across the United States. Sprint’s PCS network utilizes CDMA technology for both voice and data; speeds average 60-90Kbps in real-world usage.
Up until now, many users of such phones and PC cards have been prevented from using them with their Macs due to an absence of drivers, and BlueMobility is there to help as well — the company includes drivers and configuration parameters, and offers tech support to help Mac users get started.
The company offers details on pricing, and provides several different pricing plans based on the features you’ll require.
