3G/UMTS/HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS Router OPTION Globesurfer X.1

In keeping with the Router gateway portfolio, the Globesurfer X.1does not require any software installation to work.  By launching anysupported browser, and typing in the URL for the cradle, the graphicaluser interface will then  allow client to set up the LAN.  Once a USBModem is inserted into the cradle device, it will detect the devicepresent, and then present the client with the setup options (API etc),and finally present them with the Connect button, thereby opening thegateway to the internet.

Plug n Play, no Software installation required

Hidden beneath the glossy black veneer lie 4 LEDs that indicate theactivities of the cradle device.  Each icon is only illuminated when inuse, and is completely hidden when not.  The LED behaviour informs theclient of: Power availability, Physical Device Connection (RJ45), Wi-Fiactivity and USB Internet Connection established.

As well as the USB port for the USB Modem device, a secondary USBport provides File Server and Print Server functionality, allowingclients to use the cradle as a centralised LAN storage facility (alsoknown as network attached storage, or NAS), or centralised Printerlocation.  This always available solution is ideal for nomadic userswho want the ease of backing up their notebook or netbook computers,ensuring if they lose or damage their PCs, they always have a disasterrecovery solution available.  It also allows for multiple users toprint to the same device, without having to have it connected to theirPCs.

2 USB Ports (File Server and Printer Server compatible)

Two RJ45 Ethernet ports extend the reach of the Globesurfer X.1 toclients using older technology that doesnt utilize Wi-Fi.  By pluggingin an RJ45 cable, direct access is provided to the client to the LAN,WAN and internet.  An Ethernet hub device can be plugged in to extendthe number of available ports too.

2 Ethernet Ports (ADSL Failover supported)

The bottom line: with 802.11n, you can share data, photos and musicamong multiple devices in the home faster and at greater distances thanever before.

The key to this speed is MIMO (multiple input/multiple output) whichuses multiple antennas to send and receive digital data in multiplesimultaneous radio streams, thus multiplying total performance.

At 300 feet, 802.11g performance plummets to 1 Mbps. 802.11n networks operate at up to 70 Mbps70 times faster than 802.11g.

With an 802.11n router you will find a wireless experience thatoutpaces all previous wireless technologies. It has real worldthroughput that clocks in at 160 Mbps or fasterseven times faster than802.11g networks.

Wi-Fi 802.11b,g and n (MIMO, 160Mbs) supported
