AnyDATA busts out AWR-600 HSDPA router

3G routers are hardly the rare occurrence they once were, but it's still somewhat notable whenever a company decides to expand our wireless options, which is just what AnyDATA has done today, joining the party with its HSDPA-packin' AWR-600 router. There's not a whole lot here we haven't seen before, with the router supporting standard 802.11 b/g WiFi in addition to the built-in HSDPA, along with a built-in DHCP server, web-based configuration, the usual array of security features and, of course, some LEDs to let you know what's going on. The router also manages to keep things on the small side, measuring about 6.1 x 1.1 x 4.7 inches, with the dual antennas adding a bit of height to that. Unfortunately, there's no word on price, but AnyDATA doesn't look to have its eye on the home user with this one, instead targeting the router towards coffee shops and other business looking to offer a little hotspot action without the need for a landline connection.

So ... am I correct that this A) Takes a GSM phone SIM card B) Turns HSDPA into 802.11b/g signals so that they can be picked up by devices that B/G?

Too bad it's 2100 only. These days most HSDPA devices are tri-band...

Hmmm - I wonder if it will work with Indosat's 3.6 Mbps HSDPA service in Bali?
