US
: Axesstel announced a new product line of 3G wireless broadband gateways,
beginning with the MV300 Series CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Gateways. The MV300
Series, including the MV310 (450 MHz), MV320 (800 MHz), MV330 (1900
MHz) and MV340 (800/1900 MHz), seamlessly combines CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
wireless wide area networking (WWAN), a Wi-Fi wireless local area
networking (WLAN) router, CDMA2000 1X circuit switch cellular voice
and analog fax technology to provide wireless broadband data access,
voice calling and fax capabilities in an easy-to-use, integrated desktop
networking device. Commercial shipments of the first models in the
series are anticipated to begin in the third quarter of 2006.
The MV300 Series
Gateways address the demand from fixed wireless and mobile carriers
for a terminal device that enables them to offer residential, small
office/home office (SOHO), enterprise and commercial customers a cost-effective
alternative to landline voice service and a superior high-speed alternative
to dial up, integrated services digital network (ISDN) and digital
subscriber line (DSL).
"There is
pent up demand for terminal solutions that address the convergence
of 3G data and voice, landline and wireless technologies, and WWAN
and WLAN networking," said Mike Kwon, chief executive officer
for Axesstel. "Residential and business customers alike are looking
for a simple solution that serves all their voice and data needs,
while operators are looking to capture more market share, and grow
their subscriber bases. Our new MV300 Series Gateways converge disparate
technologies, offer an easy-to-use integrated solution for end-users,
and enables operators to leverage existing investments to expand their
market share. The MV300 Series further diversifies our growing broadband
product portfolio and will allow us to significantly expand our addressable
market into more developed regions."
Engineered with
a sleek new desktop and wall-mountable design, the MV300 Series Gateways
leverage CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology to provide broadband data at
speeds up to 2.4 Mbps for high-speed access to email, the Internet,
data intensive photos and graphics, and multi-media streaming. The
MV300 Series will be backward compatible to CDMA2000 1X to ensure
subscribers maintain high-speed connectivity in areas where a CDMA2000
1xEV-DO network is not yet available.
Plug a landline
or cordless phone into a MV300 Series Gateway and users can make voice
calls over a wireless CDMA2000 1X cellular network. Plug in an analog
fax machine and users can begin sending and receiving facsimiles.
Integrated with
an 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi router, the MV300 Series Gateways offer laptop
users the convenience of wireless connectivity to broadband data from
any room in a home or office and allows easy set up of a local hotspot
for a variety of applications in enterprise, retail, public transportation
and emergency response environments. Without any software drivers
to install, a four-port Ethernet (RJ-45) router provides a trouble-free,
plug-and-play solution that enables users to network multiple laptop
and desktop PCs for streamlined access to high-speed data. A USB port
provides an additional data connection point and two built-in RJ-11
ports enable users to plug in a fax machine or up to four landline
phones. The dual-band (800/1900 MHz) functionality of the MV340 provides
compatibility with networks worldwide.
Additional features

-- Compatibility
with other LAN and WLAN networking devices to further expand device
networking capability
-- Two receive
diversity antennas and two Wi-Fi antennas to maximize data throughput
-- E911 support
with gpsOne(R) and an internal GPS antenna
-- Seven LEDs
indicating power, signal, connection, 1xEV-DO mode, Ethernet, Wi-Fi
and voice message status
-- Battery back
up to ensure uninterrupted voice and data connectivity
