Mobile Broadband Routers
Taking your wifi network wherever you go used to be science fiction, but it is now science fact. Not only is it possible these days but it is pretty affordable, especially for small business.
There are a couple of ways to connect to the internet while you’re on the go, and one of them is the ubiquitous 3G infrastructure that cell companies have built over the years. Generally you can pay around 60-100 dollars a month for an internet connection that relies on cell towers, which have made their way into most inhabited sections of the country.
Once you get one of these data plans from Sprint or Verizon, you can get a mobile broadband router. This will take the air card that your cell provider gave you and create an 802.11 wifi hotspot that your colleagues can access and share.
Another way to move around with a portable wifi signal would be through the Windy31. This USB wireless router works only when you already have an internet connection, whether it’s wired or wireless, or even with a 3G air card. The Windy31 works like a USB wifi adapter, picking up any available wifi signal, and then it also works like a wireless router, creating a robust wifi halo wherever you go.
