Samsung’s GT-B3730 4G modem is the company’s first USB-based modem from TeliaSonera that offers 4G network connectivity as well as a backup plan – we’re talking about much slower 2G or 3G speeds here in the event where there is no 4G coverage in your area. This would definitely come in handy since 4G coverage isn’t exactly up to par yet at the moment in most countries that support it. This USB modem will sport Samsung’s proprietary Kalmia chip which supports the 2.6GHz band, while handling 3G on 2100MHz with 2G/EDGE on 900MHz/1800MHz. It will play nice with both Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. Currently, TeliaSonera has nationwide 4G licenses in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. During 2010, 4G network roll out will see action in Sweden’s 25 largest cities and vacation areas and a quartet of Norway’s largest cities. Folks living in that part of the world definitely have a reason to smile.
