Maryland residents have good reason to celebrate: XOHM, the next generation mobile broadband that allows users to enjoy the internet from anywhere in their XOHM coverage area, is hitting Baltimore on Oct. 8.

XOHM is Sprint’s latest crack at a WiMax network, and it promises to be to be faster than 3G networks and provide download speeds of 2 to 4 megabits downstream. InventHelp’s Invention Girl loves her hometown of Pittsburgh, but I’ll admit that I’m a little jealous of Baltimore!

Laptop manufacturers have plans to release new models with integrated WiMax chipsets, making it easy for users to jump on to the WiMax network city-wide. If everything goes according to plan, WiMax could provide to be a formidable foe for broadband providers like the cable company.

Setting up a reliable wireless network in a city landscape can be challenging, but we at InventHelp are looking forward to seeing if XOHM lives up to its potential. XOHM is launching in Chicago and Washington D.C. in 2008 as well. InventHelp and Invention Girl will keep you posted!
