CradlePoint CTR350 and PHS300 Firmware 2.1 Released:
Now Supports More EVDO and HSDPA Devices

CradlePoint has just released Firmware Version 2.1 that enables even more EVDO and HSDPA devices to work with the CTR350 and PHS300 routers.

UPDATE: 04/15/08 -- at the time this firmware was released, Cradlepoint already knew that it would support the forthcoming Sprint Compass 597 USB modem, but could not say anything until after Sierra Wireless' buyout of Cradlepoint was announced.

This marks the FIRST time we've ever seen a router support a new EVDO device, before the device was even launched! Here's a photo of the PHS300 with the Sprint Compass 597!

Here is a list of ALL the NEW devices supported by Firmware 2.1:
(complete list of supported devices is at 3G Router Compatibility Chart)

In addition to the additional devices, the new Firmware enables the "first stage" of an evolving GPS feature set. More information is available in the Full Firmware 2.1 Release Notes (PDF).
