Maxon Australia has released the Mac Leopard compatible driver, the driver is compatible with Mac 10.3.9 and above. Please read the installation guide for Mac before proceeding with the installation. We recommend that you upgrade your modem firmware to version 2.0.18. This can only be done on a windows machine.

We’re putting together a listing of companies that either integrate the modmax into their systems, or create a complementing product for it.  You can see some of these applications here.

We’re keen to keep growing this list, eventually including applications notes and some limited support for our partner products.  If you would like to be added to this list, please let us know!

Maxon Australia will be closing over the Christmas period. We will be closed between 22nd Dec and 2nd Jan. This includes all our sales and support teams.

We’re integrating the Blog into our main website!  Hopefully there should be minimum disruptions, however there might be some funny behavior over the next few days.

More on the reasons for this when we’re up and running!

You can access this upgrade here:

The upgrade also includes a vastly improved Telstra Turbo Modem(tm) Manager, which we recommend you upgrade to.

The Release Candidate (non-beta) version of the Mac OS software for our Next G modems has been delayed slightly due to the need to incorporate a firmware update client.  However it’s fast approaching completion, so while the final development and testing occurs, here’s a preview of some of it’s features:

• Significantly more stable than the BETA versions
• PIN unlock support
• Profile management
• Improved interface (with system bar icon and menu)
• Firmware update client
• Auto-software updates
• Supports multiple simultaneous modem connections

It’s looking good folks, shouldn’t be long now.  Once again, thank you for your patience!

Maxon Australia’s USB Docking Station (EtherMax) is finally available!

Providing routing/ethernet capabilities, this stylish unit facilitates sharing a Next G connection.

To purchase this unit directly, please visit our online store.

We’ll be updating the product page to include more technical information and pictures over the next few days.

Thank you all for your patience!
