Netgear's MBR814 Flash-OFDM Mobile Router

Netgear Flash-OFDM MBR814XF

It's not entirely the same as some of the EV-DO WiFi routers we've seen, but Netgear's MBR814 is kinda close in concept, and so far it's among the first commercial consumer-available WiFi routers we've seen featuring a wireless broadband backhaul. Granted, the technology is Flarion's FLASH-OFDM, so uplink coverage is extremely limited in the states (last we heard Nextel was toying around with it), but Qualcomm's Flarion acquisition earlier this month will ensure that there are at least a few places abroad this thing'll be useful for awhile in.
