Franklin Wireless, developer and marketer of wireless broadband communication devices and applications, announced its CDU-550 Mobile Broadband USB modem can now support both Windows Mobile, the most prevalent OS running on most PDAs and Ultra-Mobile PCs, and Linux operating systems.

Franklin Wireless' innovative CDU-550, which is also supported on Intel based Macintosh systems running the latest update of Mac OS X v.10.4.7 operating system, is the industry's first dongle EVDO USB mobile broadband modem to be introduced in the United States. The USB mobile broadband modem enables wireless subscribers using Tablet PC, Mac laptop and desktop that do not have a PCMCIA card slot, to connect to the Internet with broadband-like speeds. Additionally, the wireless connection is not limited to hot spots, which allows greater freedom and a true mobility to the subscriber.


USB Mobile Broadband Modem CDU-550"The CDU-550 was developed for the user who wants wireless access without being limited to hotspots," explained Mr. O.C. Kim, President of Franklin Wireless. "There are many cards available, but only the Franklin Wireless CDU-550 is multi-platform, having a cross-platform feature that is not available anywhere else in the market. Additionally, it is the only USB mobile broadband product that supports the Linux system."
