WiBE range extender 3G Router

The WiBE is a 3G Router. It connects WiFi and Ethernet LAN devices to the Internet using a 3G cellular network. It extends 3G broadband coverage in rural areas and other areas of poor coverage

The WiBE (Wireless Broadband Enabler) uses multi-beam antenna technology to extend the range and throughput of a 3G mobile network. This allows the 3G network to be a viable option for fast Internet access, bringing speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps, and an average of at least 2 Mbps in rural areas.

The WiBE scans using a patented multi-beam antenna system and selects the link offering the best data connection. It continues to monitor the 3G network automatically to ensure that the best available link is maintained. The WiBE provides WiFi coverage within a home or small business using a powerful IEEE802.11bgn WiFi router with many advanced features. These include integrated security and firewall, as well as QoS (Quality of Service) support. For most users no configuration is required, with all settings being taken from the SIM and local 3G network.
