MBR1000 Details:

Speed and Reliability
Complement your 3G or 4G ExpressCard or USB Cellular Modem (or tethered phone) with the MBR1000 to provide local WLAN coverage that virtually eliminates dead spots. Now you can connect, stream video, download music, and make Internet phone calls at home, at work, or on the road. The Cradlepoint MBR1000 Mobile Broadband Router uses the latest available 802.11 N technology to provide better WLAN speed and greater range than any other cellular router, while being backwards compatible with existing 802.11b/g computers and other clients, including computers, the iPod Touch, WiFi-enabled phones/PDAs, and gaming consoles.

Sharing on Your Terms
The MBR1000 also implements Cradlepoints firewall technology to ensure that your wireless network is not compromised, and sharing is allowed only when you want. The Cradlepoint firewall provides that extra level of protection even when you havent fully implemented a encryption policy. And, if you choose to establish network access without encryption, you can set your own rules and even remotely login users.

Reach Out Further
The MBR1000 uses MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) radio technology to create a wireless LAN with 2 to 6 times the radius of traditional 802.11b/g networks. Unlike ordinary WLAN radio technology that can be compromised by other in-band wireless signals and reflections, the MBR1000 actually uses these reflections to reduce dead spots and improve performance. With Wireless-N, youll have a bigger WLAN footprint and stronger signal than ever before.

Business ReadySecure and Simple
The MBR1000 ensures a secure connection through use of the latest 802.11 WiFi encryption. The MBR1000 supports WEP, WPA, and WPA2 standards to give your business the strongest possible encryption. In addition, the MBR1000 utilizes SPI and NAT to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet. For serious business applications, multi-client, simultaneous VPN pass-through is supported to give you nonstop access to your corporate network. The built-in Setup Wizard simplifies the configuration process by giving you good/better/best security options to give you both network security and device compatibility.

Great Backup Solution for your Network
The MBR1000 gives you the added flexibility to let you use a cellular data modem as an emergency backup Internet access method when DSL, Cable or office broadband goes down. Sleep a little easier knowing that you have a backup solution in place to insure your business is always connected.
