South Korean communications equipment vendor EpiValley passed the compact Spider portable 3G hotspot pictured above through the FCC today.  The Spider supports CDMA/EVDO 850 and 1900 bands and shares its wireless data connection through 802.11 b/g wireless.

We don’t know much else about the Spider, however it does appear that the device is battery-powered, making this a good portable 3G hotspot option.

The FCC label on the Spider, above right, indicates that Franklin Wireless will be branded by Franklin Wireless in the United States.  Franklin Wireless’ customers in the US include Alltel and Sprint, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the Spider is offered through these carriers.

No word on pricing or availability.
