Connect One’s Wi-REACH™ personal WiFi hotspot connects WiFi enabled devices to the internet through the mobile network. Whether on the beach, in the car, on the train or in the park, you and your friends can quickly and easily access the internet with only one button to push.
The prevalence of WiFi networks allows an easy connection between mobile devices and the network. Everyone who uses devices such as laptops, netbooks, PDAs, iPods and alike, is accustomed to connect via WiFi.
However, the vision that you will be able to plug freely into a WiFi network is hindered by the trend to secure WiFi networks and the limited reach of those networks.
Mobile network coverage and its recent support of 3G broadband connectivity provides the required infrastructure to connect mobile users to the networks.
Wi-REACH combines the connectivity merits of WiFi with the excellent mobile coverage of 3G cellular. You connect to Wi-REACH via WiFi and the personal hotspot is connected via a standard 3G modem to the mobile network.
