Mobile TV Screenings and Awards at MIPCOM 2006

US : Axesstel announced the new MV400 ( above ) Series of 3G Wireless Broadband Gateways at Futurecom being held in Florianopolis, Brazil. The MV400 Series, including the MV410 (450 MHz), MV420 (800 MHz), MV430 (1900 MHz) and MV440 (800/1900 MHz), combines CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A wireless wide area networking (WWAN), a Wi-Fi wireless local area networking (WLAN) router, and a four port Ethernet switch. The 3G gateway is an easy to use, integrated desktop networking device that networks multiple desktop and laptop PCs to provide wireless access to broadband data at speeds up to 3.1 mega bits per second (Mbps). Homologation samples for operators are scheduled to be available by the end of the year and commercial shipments of the first models in the series are anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2007.

The MV400 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 viable high-speed alternative to dial up, integrated services digital network (ISDN) and digital subscriber line (DSL).

"The MV400 Series is an easily deployable broadband data solution that is ideal for operators in emerging and developed countries. In emerging regions, operators can provide broadband data access where service is either limited or none-existent at all. In industrialized countries, operators can offer their residential and business subscribers convenient broadband access from multiple desktop or laptop PCs throughout the home or office," said Marv Tseu, chief executive officer for Axesstel. "The MV400 enables operators to deploy a plug-and-play broadband data solution, drive revenue and establish a competitive advantage against landline alternatives. The MV400 further diversifies our broadband product portfolio, enables us to increase product margins and serves operators in emerging as well as developed markets."

Engineered with a sleek new desktop and wall-mountable design, the MV400 Series Gateways leverage CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A technology to provide broadband access to email, the Internet, data intensive photos and graphics, and multi-media streaming. The MV400 Series will be backward compatible to CDMA2000 1X Rev 0 and CDMA2000 1X to ensure subscribers maintain high-speed connectivity in areas where a CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A network is not yet available.

Integrated with an 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi router, the MV400 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 small business, enterprise, retail, public transportation, emergency response and other vertical market environments.

Without any software drivers to install, a four port Ethernet (RJ-45) router provides a user-friendly, 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. The dual-band (800/1900 MHz) functionality of the MV440 provides compatibility with networks worldwide.

Additional features of the Axesstel MV400 Series CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Gateways include:

-- Compatibility with other LAN and WLAN networking devices further expands device networking capability

-- Two Wi-Fi antennas and two receive diversity antennas maximize data throughput and network accessibility in fringe areas

-- Six LEDs indicate power, signal, connection, 1xEV-DO mode, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi status

-- Battery back up ensures uninterrupted data connectivity
