BMX-SPT WiMAX Modem
The Next
Wave
BMX-SPT device is a highly-integrated WiMAX modem and a SPOT Personal Satellite Tracker in a
single unit. The device can be used to connect a user to a high-speed Internet connection using WiMAX, or it can
provide the full functionality of the SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker.
Note:
Don’t worry about draining the SPOT batteries while using the Internet because the WiMAX power is taken
from the PC through the supplied special dual USB cable. Do not use any other USB cable with the BMX-
SPT.
1. WiMAX Mode
In WiMAX mode, your BMX-SPT is used as a cabled modem device for your personal computer to access the internet.
Note:
The WiMAX transmitter and Internet connections function only when a USB cable is attached to the laptop or
PC. Use only the supplied dual USB cable with the BMX-SPT device.
2. SPOT Mode
When the device is used in SPOT mode, the full functionality of the SPOT device is allowed.
Note:
The WiMAX function is powered off in this mode and cannot be used by design. The WiMax function
automatically turns off when the USB cable is not connected to a personal computer.
