Press Release

Dubai Internet City, UAE / Kista, Sweden – 12th of February, 2009

DOVADO shall be demonstrating its latest set of unique features in the USB Mobile Broadband Router (UMR) at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona between the 16th and 19th of February, 2009. The DOVADO exhibitor’s stand is situated at the Swedish Pavilion in Hall 2, Stand 2F13.

Visit www.mobileworldcongress.com for event details.

With this announcement of the 3.0 firmware release, the DOVADO UMR has been given a boost of unique world-first features.

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.

DOVADO has injected the following world-first cutting-edge features in the coming 3.0 firmware release:

Traffic Consumption Overview & SMS Notification     
Following the introduction of a bi-monthly data consumption meter for both the mobile broadband as well as fixed broadband connections, it is also possible to receive an SMS reminder of how much data has been consumed on the mobile broadband connection during the calendar month. This feature allows users to have a better overview and control of their data consumption. The notifications are made on selected intervals of consumed traffic (100/250/500/1000 MB).

Further information is available on www.dovado.com/traffic

SMS Remote Control
Using the inserted USB modem into the UMR, users can remotely control their DOVADO UMR with the help of their mobile phone. It is possible to check the signal/connection status, retrieve the IP address of the router, and perform certain tasks such as restart, disconnect and connect the mobile internet. The SMS Remote Control function is not dependant on a working mobile internet connection, only an inserted compliant USB modem with SMS-enabled SIM card. The feature also incorporates SMS-based notifications of any sudden changes in internet connection or operational status.

Home Automation with TellStick^TM
Following the joint cooperation with Telldus Technologies, the DOVADO UMR is now able to host a USB device called the TellStick^TM. The TellStick^TM can wirelessly control the power switching of lights and appliances throughout the home within a 30 meter radius. The corresponding unit, a wireless receiver for power switching, is available in electronic retail today in large volumes. DOVADO’s unique integration allows users to remotely control their lights and appliances with the help of an SMS, let alone the integrated web-based management available in the UMR.
