Developed in Australia by NetComm, the nifty Telstra device operates on Next G delivering powerful Wi-Fi and wired network for multiple devices – 16 wireless and four wired – and users, the telco said today.
Gateway will provide “blistering” mobile download speeds from 1.1Mbps – 20Mbps in Telstra 3G Dual Channel HSPA+ enabled coverage areas, which covers 60 per cent of the country.
In areas outside of this, including some metropolitan and regional areas, Ultimate Gateway provides speeds of 550kbps-8Mbps and 550kbps-3Mbps elsewhere.
It supports fast Wi-Fi n connectivity (as well as Wi-Fi b and g) and comes with 2X built-in USB 2.0 ports that customer can use to share access to a printer or mass storage device.
It is also first portable mobile broadband gateway in Australia to use dual channel HSPA+ technology and is double the speed of the telco’s previous mobile gateways and sets up within minutes, say Telstra.
Gateway integrates four internal antennas for stronger signal strength.
So, how is this super gateway opened? It can be purchased for $0 upfront on the $89 Telstra Mobile Broadband Standard Plan over 24 months with 15GB included data to use in Australia (min cost $ 2,136) but can also be purchased outright for $399 from Telstra Business Centres and Stores.
“Ultimate Gateway is the fastest mobile gateway device in Australia and allows businesses to connect teams or multiple Wi-Fi-enabled devices wherever there is Next G network coverage and power,” says Anthea Roberts, Director, Telstra Mobile Broadband,
“This makes it incredibly simple to establish internet-powered networks at temporary office locations, conferences, tradeshows, construction sites or when on the road.”
