Digi International Monday unveiled the telecom industry's first upgradeable commercial-grade 3G wireless area network (WAN) router.
The Minnesota company said in a news release that the ConnectPort WAN will appeal to companies that require high-speed connections for 3G (third-generation) wireless services.
ConnectPort performs a variety of functions, including cellular routing, firewall and switching and can remotely monitor devices including security cameras and utilities. It also provides broadband downlink speeds of up to 700 kilobits per second.
"Customers now have the ability to securely access information and applications at broadband speeds anywhere a UMTS/HSDPA cellular connection is accessible," said Digi Vice President Larry Kraft added. "The ConnectPort WAN delivers this speed for a wide range of commercial applications."
