LTE seemed to be the 4G that everyone is waiting for. Yes, we might have Wimax around, but many telcos seemed to be leaning over to LTE instead. AT&T might not have their LTE network up yet, but they’re already preparing new USB modem for it. AT&T has just announced their new USBConnect Adrenaline modem, sourced from LG. While it’s 3G-capable, this modem is upgradeable to LTE in 2011 when LTE is fully geared up. In the meantime, you get HSPA, a microSD slot with support for up to 32GB, and GPS. If you’re in US, it’s up and running for $49.99 on contract.

AT&T has also announced their first HSPA+ modem, in the form of Sierra Wireless’ USBConnect Shockwave. It’ll work with AT&T’s upcoming HSPA+ upgrade. AT&T also has a new modem for their prepaid data plans. They’ll be introducing the Huawei USBConnect 900 (the first time AT&T uses Huawei device) for their prepaid DataConnect Pass plans, $15, $30, and $50 for 100MB, 300MB, and 1GB, respectively. Look for the Adrenaline and 900 in stores on October 17; the Shockwave hasn’t been dated just yet.
