 "CP Technologies Announces New Portable 3G Wireless Router")
CP Technologies, a provider of wired and wireless networking solutions, has announced its portable 3G wireless router, the LevelOne MobileSpot Portable Wireless Hotspot (WBR-3800). The new router allows users to connect and share an Internet connection or create a virtual private network from anywhere in the world.
The new LevelOne 3G wireless router offers mobile broadband connections and Wi-Fi. Mere plugging of a compatible 3G notebook adapter into the device’s CardBus slot allows the user to share a UMTS, EV-DO, or HSDPA network with any Wi-Fi enabled device. It provides redundant, 24/7 connectivity for users with 3G service or a traditional ADSL/ cable connection. In the event the user’s Internet connection fails, the MobileSpot Portable router will automatically connect to the Internet via the 3G connection for uninterrupted wireless service.
“Typical wireless networks are not as reliable or as accessible as they need to be. Consumers need a solution that gives them a consistent connection, especially when on-the-go,” stated Rick Hsu, president of CP Technologies. “Our new LevelOne MobileSpot Portable Wireless Hotspot is designed to meet these needs.”
The Mac and PC compatible MobileSpot is 802.11b and 802.11g compliant and offers enhanced security features including WPA, WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK authentication with TKIP/ AES encryption as well as advanced firewall protection when connected to the Internet. It also provides port-forwarding, SSID enable/ disable functionality, MAC address filtering and VPN pass-through of PPTP, L2TP and IPSec secured data connections.
The router comes equipped with a 10/100Mbps Ethernet switch with auto-negotiation and MDI/MDI-X support as well as a 10/100Mbps WAN interface for broadband Internet access with a DSL or cable modem. The MobileSpot Portable Wireless Hotspot is 5.1 x 4.8 x 1.3 inches and weighs 11.2 ounces.
Backed by a limited one-year warranty and toll-free technical support, the MobileSpot Portable Wireless Hotspot (WBR-3800) is immediately available at an estimated street price of $149.
