Europe : Billion Electric is to market with a new ADSL2+ wireless router which comes with a 3G back-up for ultimate reliability, mobility and peace of mind. Billion's compact BiPAC 7300GX dual-interface 3G/ADSL2+ firewall and router enables you to enjoy the freedom of secure, high-speed Internet connectivity wherever you are - at home, the office, or while on the road.

With auto-failover, the device will automatically switch over to a 3G connection in the event of ADSL being interrupted, and also it will switch back to ADSL as soon as it monitors a stable connection.

 The Billion BiPAC 7300GX (3G/HSPDA ADSL2+ router) offers dual interface for ADSL2+ or 3G connection. It is an all-in-one, compact ADSL2+ router for Small Office / Home Office users who want to enjoy all the benefits of faster 3G data transmission speeds as a back-up. In addition, it is ideal for business users who require a temporary Internet connection such as event or meeting organisers, and those who require a reliable connection on the road such as travelling businessmen or long-distance coach operators.

Edward Kung, Managing Director of Billion in UK says: “Billion is leading the way in ensuring business continuity for SMEs with this 3G/ADSL2+ combo router. It is also ideal for a number of different applications where businesses require the sharing of mobile high-speed internet access."

Communication Flexibility via 3G/HSDPA

Providing extra peace of mind for small offices, the Internet connection can be switched to GSM if interrrupted. The BiPAC 7300GX router allows you to insert a 3G/HSDPA PC card into its built-in PC Card slot, enabling you to use a 3G/HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, or GSM Internet connection that makes a downstream rate up to 14.4Mbps possible. With the increasing popularity of the 3G standard, communication via the BiPAC 7300GX is becoming more convenient and widely available - allowing you to watch movies, download music on the road, or access e-mail no matter where you are. You can even share your Internet connection with others – ideal when you're in a meeting.

 Always Online

Furthermore, the Annex M standard integrated into the BiPAC 7300GXA supports ADSL2/2+ for higher upload speeds by doubling the upload data rate. Support for auto-failover means that you'll be assured of a constant Internet connection – in case your ADSL line fails, the BiPAC 7300GX will connect via 3G to deliver uninterrupted connectivity.
