AT&T is going to launch its new and improved 4G network later this summer. The carrier also announced two devices for the new spectrum - the AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G and the AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G, a USB modem for Windows and Mac OS computers.
The two devices aren't the first LTE modems AT&T announced - the first one was the AT&T USBConnect Adrenaline, which came out in March. But these devices will act as a stress test of sorts for the AT&T network, paving the way for LTE-connected phones by the end of the year.
The USBConnect Momentum 4G, which will retail for $50 with a two-year contract, is a black modem box that can connect to Windows and Mac OS computers. The Elevate 4G will go for $70 with a contract and its main feature might be its 1.77 inch, 160-by-128 pixel LCD screen. The screen can display battery life, signal indicators, and even how many minutes of the usage plan have been used.
