Press Release

Dubai Internet City, UAE / Kista, Sweden – 11th of August, 2009

With the recent 4.0 firmware upgrade, it is now possible to use the very latest in 3G/HSPA mobile broadband, namely Evolved HSPA (also known as HSPA+), delivering speeds north of 10Mbps on the downlink, and 5.76 Mbps on the uplink. Most mobile operators delivering such speeds are introducing USB modems that handle anywhere between 10 and 21 Mbps on the downlink. DOVADO's objective is to add support for these as they gain market momentum, thus securing DOVADO's position as a leading pioneer in this market space.

"As expected, the USB modem suppliers met the demand of mobile operators who are busy evolving their networks to gain further subscriber volumes. We are constantly developing support for modems as many subscribers shy away from investing in a router that does not give them the kind of flexibility in terms of upgrading to the latest speeds available by the evolving 3G networks. With a DOVADO UMR, you are able to swap out the USB modem for a faster one once you have upgraded the router's firmware. Same router, with a higher speed. No need to buy a completely new router. Simple as that.", says Erik Arthur, CEO of DOVADO.

The DOVADO USB Mobile Broadband Router (UMR) allows users to insert their 3G/HSPA+, CDMA or iBurst^TM mobile broadband USB modem and share out their Internet connection with ease via LAN and/or WiFi, providing access to all their computers and wireless-enabled devices throughout the home or office. Not only is the DOVADO 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.
