Option GlobeSurfer III - Instant Wifi Hotspot


Option International have released the latest Option GlobeSurfer 3G Wireless Mobile Router - Create an instant, secure wifi hotspot for all of your mobile devices.

Packed with new and unique features, the Globesurfer® III pushes the boundaries of conventional gateway routers. Using a Qualcomm 7225 chipset, this clever device offers HSUPA at 5.76Mbps, as well as AWS support - making it a forerunner in the bandwidth market.


Naturally, it comes with full telephone functionality, including composing, reading and managing SMS text messages.

Hard drives and printers can be connected via the integrated USB port.

This means users have access to a central storage system, allowing them to back-up critical files, or share files across the LAN. Multimedia files such as MP3s or AVIs can be streamed across the network. A printer can be conveniently located and used by all connected PCs.


The Globesurfer® III is easy to use, with just two buttons and a clear, colour display screen.

The browser has been sub-divided into two sections, so users who only require basic features such as SMS, Telephone, Quick Set-Up and Security can perform all these tasks without having to navigate through more complex functions within the advanced section.

Novatel Wireless - Instant 3G Wifi router


Novatel Wireless has introduced a new innovation in wireless data with the Mifi - a pocket-sized instant Wifi router.

The data connection is provided by the internal 3G/HSDPA data device and generates a secure Wifi hotspot - unlike other existing 3G/wifi routers this device is also battery powered (up to 4 hours use) so a wifi hotspot can be created anywhere you take it - or even on the move in vehicles (though we would not recommend trying this on a plane).

An instant wifi hotspot allows you to connect your multiple devices (e.g. laptop/pda/ipod etc) and connect and share one data connection - use just for yourself or share with colleagues etc.

Release date - 1st/2nd quarter 2009.
