Sprint shows off Cisco ENZO EV-DO router at CTIA
While it's certainly not the first of kind, Sprint is busting out a rare American solution to the 3G router thirst as it showcases the Cisco ENZO at this year's CTIA. The EV-DO router is based around a Cisco 3G WWAN interface card and an "integrated service router (ISR)," and unfortunately, that's about all the details that are currently available. Apparently, Sprint will be aiming this at companies who could use "primary or backup access for business-critical applications," and while we can't give you any concrete dates to mark on your calender just yet, the router is currently in the testing stage and should be ready for commercialization "sometime this summer."
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.
Moto to introduce NC800 EV-DO WiFi router?
Looks like Moto's jumping in the 3G WiFi router arena too soon enough, only their new NC800 isn't kind enough to the user to be carrier-independent and have a PC card slot for your choice of wireless broadband. No, the NC800 is straight up EV-DO Rel. 0, and comes also with your usual 802.11b/g, Ethernet ports, and firewall. Nothing special or out of the ordinary, in other words, but maybe if they get the price down to something reasonable they'll be able to snag a few customers.
