Verizon Releases Mac Driver for 4G Modem

Macworld.com – Mac speed demons hoping to hop onto the express train of Verizon’s recently launched 4G network have been held back by a lack of OS X-compatible drivers for the network’s LTE modems—until now.

Verizon is now offering a version of its VZAccess Manager for Mac that brings compatibility with one of the network’s two 4G USB modems, the Pantech UML290. The newly released version 7.2.4 (2534b) of the VZAccess Manager software allows Mac users to plug in the UML290 and, along with a compatible data plan, get access to Verizon’s high-speed LTE network in 38 markets around the U.S.

With this new release from Verizon, Mac OSX users will have the opportunity to utilize the Verizon 4G LTE Network. 4G Availability on Mac OSX means that Streambox users streaming video from the Hybrid HD/SD Software Encoder can send broadcast quality video from a single 4G Card.
