3 Sweden Launches DOVADO Mobile Broadband Router
www.dovado.com

Sweden’s 3 has introduced the DOVADO 3GN router in a bundle with its mobile broadband subscriptions. The solution can completely replace a traditional fixed broadband connection. The DOVADO 3GN router supports mobile broadband downlink speeds of up to 16 Mbps that 3 Sweden’s Turbo 3G (HSPA+) network can deliver. By connecting a 3 modem to the router's USB port, the DOVADO 3GN creates a WiFi zone where computers, smartphones, gaming consoles, and other devices can share the same mobile broadband connection.

Swedish mobile operator 3 (Hi3G Access AB) has begun selling the DOVADO 3GN router together with its mobile broadband subscriptions. The solution can completely and quickly replace traditional broadband such as ADSL.

3 has identified a lack of routers on the market that support the high speeds which their Turbo 3G (HSPA+) network can deliver. 3 have therefore started a cooperation with DOVADO to offer their customers the DOVADO 3GN. With the help of a USB modem from 3, it is possible to reach up to speeds of 16Mbps. By connecting a 3 modem to the router's USB port, the DOVADO 3GN creates a WiFi zone where computers, smartphones, gaming consoles, and other devices can share the same mobile broadband connection.

It is also possible to connect the devices directly by Ethernet cable to any of the four Ethernet ports. And because it is a mobile broadband wireless network, it is easy to bring to other locations such as a cottage or boat.

“To date, we have complete mobile telephony solutions for both private, as well as corporate customers. However, with our fast mobile broadband offering speeds of up to 16Mbps in combination with the Dovado 3G router, we can now offer a real alternative to ADSL, thus allowing our customers to gain independence of their telephone jacks." , says Nicholas Högberg, Vice President of 3 Sweden.

The DOVADO 3GN is supplied with a USB modem from 3 along with a 3Bredband Plus or a 3Bredband Max subscription, depending on the selection of data speeds. The solution is sold online via www.tre.se as well as in 3's own stores as of June 23rd.

The DOVADO 3GN router can be firmware upgraded for the purpose of supporting newer and faster modems as 3 introduces them to the market.

“The agreement with 3 Sweden quickly followed our initial launch with 3 in Denmark last month. With strong technical competence and quick turnaround time, our ability to support 3´s latest USB modems and other market requirements were critical for 3 when selecting the DOVADO brand.”, says Erik Arthur, CEO of DOVADO.

Product Summary:
The DOVADO 3GN router is the latest addition to the DOVADO product portfolio. Not only is the DOVADO 3GN capable of supporting the latest entries of mobile broadband USB modems, but it can also be firmware upgraded to support exciting new features and enhancements. Currently, some of these unique features include the ability to remotely control the router via simple SMS commands sent from a mobile phone; along with the ability to be notified via SMS of any changes in either the connection, or consumption alerts in case of nearing the monthly data quota permitted on certain subscriptions.

Using the embedded Connection TrackerTM feature, the DOVADO 3GN is capable of maintaining the Internet connection by monitoring the connectivity and execute an automatic redial (in case of a network drop) or fail-over to a secondary Internet interface. DOVADO as a leading pioneer in the mobile broadband router market is continuously evolving its software development in order to vessel users into the coming releases of mobile broadband speeds.
