GITEX 2006: D-Link launches 3G Mobile Routers to help users maximizing their investment in their internet access subscription

Providing easy-manageable and affordable end-to-end networking solutions for consumers and business, D-Link will be featuring live demonstrations for the new 3G Mobile Router Series at their Booth C1-10 in Hall 1 at this year's GITEX.

The DIR Series consists of the models: The D-Link DIR-450 3G Mobile Router for EV-DO Networks, the D-Link DIR-451 3G Mobile Router for UMTS Networks and the D-Link DIR-452 3G Mobile Router for HSDPA Networks.

The D-Link DIR-450/ DIR-451/ DIR-452 Wireless 3G Mobile Routers offer subscribers of wireless carriers the ability to share 3G wireless broadband access at speeds up to 2.4 Mbps with Ethernet, and 802.11g connected stations from anywhere a compatible 3G mobile signal is available. The D-Link Wireless 3G Mobile Routers offer both consumers and small business a way to provide wireless wide area networking (WAN) for local Ethernet and 802.11g Wi-Fi networks.
The D-Link DIR-450/ DIR-451/ DIR-452 Wireless 3G Mobile Routers are equipped with a built in Cardbus slot for the insertion of a 3G wireless notebook adapter interface for EVDO, UMTS, and HSDPA networks. The routers also feature two USB 2.0 ports, one for providing wireless broadband access when used in conjunction with a USB enabled 3G mobile cell phone and another port for optional print server functionality. The D-Link DIR-450/ DIR-451/ DIR-452 Wireless 3G Mobile Routers include a built-in 10/100 Mbps switch to connect up to four Ethernet-enabled networking devices as well as an integrated 802.11g access point for wireless LAN support.
The D-Link DIR-450/ DIR-451/ DIR-452 Wireless 3G Mobile Routers also incorporate enhanced security features such as WPA, support for 802.1x, and NAT firewall functionality to protect the user's network. Parental Control features include URL Filtering and Domain Blocking to keep users on your network from accessing blocked content. The routers also include scheduling features to prevent access during unsupervised hours.

"Providing shared wireless broadband access has gone one step further, the ability to get this functionality via 3G really adds flexibility for mobile subscribers and is a strong proposition for mobile operators," said Fateen A. Fateen, Chairperson D-Link Middle East. "We are proud to offer the new DIR Series of Wireless 3G Mobile Routers to this market", he concluded.
