(Update 4) Leaked Pictures: P1 USB WiMAX Modem

Remember my older post "P1 to launch USB WiMAX modem"?

Here's some leaked pictures of the P1 WiMAX USB Modem:

Full details about the modem and package will be revealed on Thursday. A story about this new modem should be up on the Mobile World website by Thursday, so keep an eye on the MW website.


Packet One is rumored to have only one WiMAX package for this modem. P1 has declined to comment on pricing as it will be revealed on Thursday however sources close to P1 said that price will be between RM90-RM150 and comes with the modem.

Update 1: I wrote earlier that it is between RM50-RM90, my mistake, the error has been corrected, it should be RM90-RM150.

Update 2: Some technical specifications of the P1 USB WiMAX Modem:
  • Model number: US 230
  • IEEE 802.16e 2005
  • 2.3Ghz - 2.4Ghz
  • MIMO enabled for better QoS
  • Auto Installation- Plug & play
  • Modulation- OFDMA, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM(DL Only)
  • Modem Max Speed: DL- 30Mbps UL- 7Mbps
  • Power: 5V through USB
  • Weight: 50g
  • Supported OS: XP & Vista
Update 3: The P1 USB Modem is called Wiggy (what a weird name!!). I will be attending a blogger's event later at the P1 headquarter-Packet Hub

Update 4: As promised, check out the official story on the Mobile World Website here
