New Pilot CDPD Modem

Posted by justin++ on Wednesday February 18, 1998 @11:28AM from the it's-for-ummmm-school dept.

Nikean has released the X-1 and the rugged X-1R. The two are CDPD frequency hopping modems with extra powerful antennae. The X-1's main competitor will be Metricom's Ricochet. The two both sell for US$300-400, but the Ricochet has more limited coverage (Nikean allows you to chose a service provider), but works with more than a PalmPilot, (such as a laptop or desktop computer).
