The DOVADO Wireless Residential Gateway (WRG) connects to the mobile broadband network via the Kyocera iBurstTMSystem PC Card (PCMCIA) modem and can share the internet services to many computer and WiFi-enabled handheld device users as a wireless 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. The additional value-add is the small and compact design which can accommodate all the front and back-end communications features as well as remain software upgradeable in order to accommodate future availability of PC cards and features.
The WRG can be used as an all-in-one access device within a home, office or onboard a vessel/vehicle. Wireless operators are able to bundle competitive voice and data packages as part of their service plan. The WRG was first qualified and certified for iBurst by Personal Broadband Australia in November 2006. Since then, the WRG has also gone online in other expanding iBurst markets such as Azerbaijan, Canada, Kenya, Lebanon, Malaysia, Norway and South Africa. “We are extremely pleased to have supplied Redwood Wireless with WRG’s in time for the launch of their mobile broadband internet service in South Dakota. Thanks to the ability to share the iBurst internet access as well as offer a competitive form of telephony, the WRG will allow Redwood Wireless’s customers to access all of the available services from within the zone of coverage, be it within a fixed or mobile scenario.” says Erik Arthur, CEO of DOVADO. iBurstTMSystem is the fourth separate family of technologies supported by the DOVADO Wireless Residential Gateway (WRG), succeeding the previous integration of support for 2G/3G/HSPA, UMTS-TDD as well as FLASH-OFDM®.
