Create a wireless network using your Mobile Broadband dongle and share your Internet connection
The Globesurfer X1 is a compact wireless router that allows anyone with a 3G USB Modem to easily and reliably connect to the internet. The device needs no installation software as it’s built in browser interface enables users to access the features by simply opening any internet browser.
When no USB Modem is present, the Globesurfer X.1 will still establish a LAN (Local Area Network) and allow computers supporting Wi-Fi to access the networking features of the device. Clients without Wi-Fi can also connect via the Ethernet ports on the rear of the device.
The USB connector is adjustable and can be folded into the casing of the device when it's not in use to leave a perfectly flush, rounded surface that is aesthetically pleasing and stylishly designed.
With an 802.11n router you will find a wireless experience that outpaces all previous wireless technologies. It has real world throughput that clocks in at 160 Mbps or faster—seven times faster than 802.11g networks. Two Ethernet ports extend the reach of the Globesurfer X1 to older, or non wifi enabled computers.
You can also use the GlobeSurfer X1 as a wired router by plugging connecting your laptop or computer using an ethernet cable. An Ethernet hub device can be plugged in to extend the number of available ports too.
As well as the USB port for the USB Modem device, a secondary USB port provides File Server and Print Server functionality, allowing clients to use the cradle as a centralised storage facility (also known as ‘network attached storage, or NAS’), or centralised Printer location. It allows for multiple users to print to the same printer without having to have it connected directly to their PC or laptop.
In keeping with the Router gateway portfolio, the Globesurfer X1 does not require any software installation to work. By launching any supported browser, and typing in the URL for the cradle you'll be able to fully configure your wireless network. Once a USB Modem is inserted into the cradle device, it will detect the device and launch the set up wizard and an option to Connect to the Mobile Broadband Network.
