D-Link Debuts 3G Mobile Router

Networking equipment manufacturer D-Link has released a router that allows users to share a 3G mobile wireless broadband connection at speeds of up to 2.4Mbps where service is available. The device supports EVDO, UMTS, Flash-OFDM and HSDPA technologies and includes a slot for a PC-card, as well as 2 USB ports to connect either a cell phone or print server to add functionality.

D-Link's router would, for example, enable home users to share a wireless broadband connection from Verizon or Sprint in lieu of cable or DSL. "Providing shared broadband network access to mobile subscribers from anywhere a cellular network reaches is a strong proposition for mobile operators," said Steven Joe, D-Link President and CEO.
