US : Top Global has signed an agreement with Mobile and Wireless Group to accelerate international market penetration of 3G cellular gateways and routers based on Top Global’s MobileBridge platform.

The MobileBridge™ is a patented, mobile/portable wireless communication platform and it is the world’s first and the most integrated WLAN and WWAN solution for Enterprise, Mobile Hot Spots, SOHO, and WISPs. Mobile and Wireless Group is the parent company of the eXpansys, MobilePlanet, Portix and Nomatica, which together form the largest independent company selling mobile computing and communications products in Asia, Europe, and the USA.

The 3G Phoebus takes a single 3G PCMCIA card and creates a mobile Wi-Fi hot spot for multiple terminals using 802.11b/g technology to deliver download speeds of up to 2.4 Mbps (EVDO) or 1.8Mbps (HSDPA). Through the 3G Phoebus, multiple LAN and Wi-Fi devices and users can simultaneously access the 3G wireless data-link. It can be used as a replacement or backup for dial up, ISDN, DSL, cable, or satellite connections. The product is secure, simple to use, and easily scalable to enable new wireless data services and applications.

New York Times Tech editor David Pogue called the 3G Phoebus Cellular Router: "the Simplicity Champion", and Sacha Segan of PC Magazine named it: "a truly out-of-this-world router". Leveraging our experiences and existing customer base in over 20 countries, the 3G Phoebus is proven to work with most of the 3G data cards around the world including EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, CDMA 1x, and EVDO. It can now be purchased for $399.95 or its equivalent local currencies in multiple online stores of MobilePlanet, eXpansys, Portix, and Nomatica. International customers can now conveniently purchase the 3G Phoebus from their local eXpansys store in their own native language and pay by local currency.

"The Phoebus is the leading universal 3G cellular router on the market and proven to work in over 20 countries," said Alan Zhou, President of Top Global, "Leveraging Mobile and Wireless product experience, market focus, and broad global presence, Mobile & Wireless Group is the perfect channel partner to support our global market expansion and service our rapid growing international customer base. We are looking forward to building a long term win-win partnership to deliver innovative Mobile and Wireless products, applications, and services to our customers worldwide.”

“MWG is looking forward to a good working relationship with Top Global. Their product exhibits just the type of cutting-edge technology our customers are looking for.” said Ms. Martha Sama, Marketing Manager, North America, Mobile & Wireless Group. “We really like the Phoebus router because it offers an efficient solution to customers searching for a way to achieve internet connectivity for several users in locations where it is difficult or impossible to connect to a wired network or traditional WLAN. It opens the doors to doing business anywhere 3G cellular service exists, which is practically everywhere these days.”
