Press ReleaseDOVADO extends support for further PC cards from Option Wireless TechnologyDubai Internet City, Thursday, December 14th, 2006 - DOVADO has extended support for additional PCMCIA modems from Option Wireless Technology. The DOVADO Wireless Residential Gateway (WRG) can be firmware-upgraded over-the-air in order to capacitate newer modems as operators evolve their networks from one technology to the next, thus not requiring subscribers to acquire a newer gateway for each newer generation of technology that is introduced. The recent additions of Option cards include:
• GlobeTrotter COMBO EDGE (EDGE/GPRS)
The WRG can be used as an all-in-one access device within a home, office or onboard a vessel/vehicle. Mobile operators would be able to bundle competitive voice and data packages as part of their service plan.
With the assistance of the DOVADO Gateway Manager (DGM), all of the DOVADO gateways are operator-managed from a central location in order to simplify and shorten the installation process by operator subscribers.

The WRG connects to the mobile network via a slot-in PCMCIA modem, and can share the internet access to many users simultaneously as a WiFi/LAN router. Additional features such as telephony allow subscribers to use their existing regular analog telephone sets and fax machines to get the best out of next generation SIP telephony inherent in the mobile soft-switching infrastructures better known as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
