Press ReleaseBrightpoint Africa appointed as exclusive DOVADO distributor throughout sub-Saharan Africa
DOVADO FZ-LLC has appointed Brightpoint Africa Pty Ltd (“Brightpoint”) as exclusive distributor of its latest innovation, the USB Mobile Broadband Router (UMR), throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The agreement takes into immediate effect. The UMR will be introduced into the retail and operator segments throughout the various markets.
The DOVADO USB Mobile Broadband Router (UMR) allows users to insert their 3G/HSPA, CDMA or iBurstTM mobile broadband USB modem and share out their internet connection with ease via Ethernet or Wireless LAN, providing access to all their computers and wireless-enabled devices throughout the home or office. Not only is the UMR a price-competitive product that fulfills the gap between a USB modem and a local area network, but is simple to configure and reliable in performance. Offering a residential or SOHO broadband connection without wires, the UMR provides a round-the-clock connection, as one would experience with fixed broadband.
The UMR supports a wide number of USB modems today from the world’s most established brands in mobile broadband, and is firmware upgradable to support additional modems as they enter the market. In addition, the UMR also allows users to utilize 3G as a backup connection to their existing ADSL, Cable internet or Ethernet infrastructures, as well as send and receive SMS texts.
DOVADO’s strength as a competitive market player is reiterated by the release of new firmware upgrades, thus innovating further potential through expanding the set of features and capabilities the UMR is able to offer. These firmware upgrades are available for all to download, from the company website.
“We are very pleased to join with Brightpoint, a recognized brand and a world leader in distribution of mobile devices. Our relationship with Brightpoint in Africa is mutually beneficial as we are able to introduce our product into their markets, while Brightpoint is able to fulfill a gap in the market which has made itself obvious following the growing penetration of operator-subsidized 3G USB modems. Our shared vision is to make the combination of these two devices a reliable, affordable and most importantly; a quickly available form of broadband internet access across the region,” says Erik Arthur, Chief Executive Officer at DOVADO.
