AFT News Axesstel Announces New Series of 3G Gateways Converging EV-DO Rev A Data, Wi-Fi Router and Ethernet Switch
FLORIANOPOLIS, Brazil--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Axesstel, Inc. (AMEX:AFT), a leader in the design and development of
fixed wireless voice and broadband data products, today announced the
new MV400 Series of 3G Wireless Broadband Gateways at Futurecom being
held in Florianopolis, Brazil. The MV400 Series, including the MV410
(450 MHz), MV420 (800 MHz), MV430 (1900 MHz) and MV440 (800/1900 MHz),
combines CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A wireless wide area networking (WWAN), a
Wi-Fi wireless local area networking (WLAN) router, and a four port
Ethernet switch. The 3G gateway is an easy to use, integrated desktop
networking device that networks multiple desktop and laptop PCs to
provide wireless access to broadband data at speeds up to 3.1 mega bits
per second (Mbps). Homologation samples for operators are scheduled to
be available by the end of the year and commercial shipments of the
first models in the series are anticipated to begin in the first quarter
of 2007.
The MV400 Series Gateways address the demand from fixed wireless and
mobile carriers for a terminal device that enables them to offer
residential, small office/home office (SOHO), enterprise and commercial
customers a viable high-speed alternative to dial up, integrated
services digital network (ISDN) and digital subscriber line (DSL).
“The MV400 Series is an easily deployable
broadband data solution that is ideal for operators in emerging and
developed countries. In emerging regions, operators can provide
broadband data access where service is either limited or none-existent
at all. In industrialized countries, operators can offer their
residential and business subscribers convenient broadband access from
multiple desktop or laptop PCs throughout the home or office,”
said Marv Tseu, chief executive officer for Axesstel. “The
MV400 enables operators to deploy a plug-and-play broadband data
solution, drive revenue and establish a competitive advantage against
landline alternatives. The MV400 further diversifies our broadband
product portfolio, enables us to increase product margins and serves
operators in emerging as well as developed markets.”
Engineered with a sleek new desktop and wall-mountable design, the MV400
Series Gateways leverage CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A technology to provide
broadband access to email, the Internet, data intensive photos and
graphics, and multi-media streaming. The MV400 Series will be backward
compatible to CDMA2000 1X Rev 0 and CDMA2000 1X to ensure subscribers
maintain high-speed connectivity in areas where a CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A
network is not yet available.
Integrated with an 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi router, the MV400 Series Gateways
offer laptop users the convenience of wireless connectivity to broadband
data from any room in a home or office and allows easy set up of a local
hotspot for a variety of applications in small business, enterprise,
retail, public transportation, emergency response and other vertical
market environments.
Without any software drivers to install, a four port Ethernet (RJ-45)
router provides a user-friendly, plug-and-play solution that enables
users to network multiple laptop and desktop PCs for streamlined access
to high-speed data. A USB port provides an additional data connection
point. The dual-band (800/1900 MHz) functionality of the MV440 provides
compatibility with networks worldwide.
Additional features of the Axesstel MV400 Series CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
Gateways include:
Compatibility with other LAN and WLAN networking devices further
expands device networking capability
Two Wi-Fi antennas and two receive diversity antennas maximize data
throughput and network accessibility in fringe areas
Six LEDs indicate power, signal, connection, 1xEV-DO mode, Ethernet,
and Wi-Fi status
Battery back up ensures uninterrupted data connectivity
