| 10/13/09 - Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (OTCBB: ZMTP) announced the first volume shipments of the Zoom 3G Wireless-N Desk Router,
Model 4501. Almost any 3G mobile broadband modem can be plugged into the
router to instantly create a WiFi compatible Hotspot for a wide range
of devices including Windows and Macintosh computers, the iTouch
and Blackberry, mobile phones, barcode readers, and game stations. The
desktop router is AC-powered and comes with a small power cube with a
built-in switching power supply.
Model 4501 has an estimated U.S. retail of $79 and represents a significant
new price point for 3G wireless-N routers.
The Desktop Router provides easy sharing of a 3G connection wherever a 3G
mobile broadband modem works and there's AC power -- office, home, trade
show, airport, hotel, or almost anywhere. The Desktop Router connects to
the Internet through a plug-in 3G USB modem, and provides Internet access
for up to 253 devices simultaneously through the Router's wireless n/g/b
network or a wired Ethernet connection.
Zoom's Desktop Router even lets a user's WiFi compatible devices go where
3G signal strength is low. A user can put the Travel Router and 3G modem
where 3G signal strength is high, and then connect to WiFi compatible
devices through the router's extended-range wireless-N capability.
Zoom's Desk Router can even be used as a router for ADSL and Cable modems,
with automatic broadband backup if a 3G USB modem is plugged in. The Desk
Router includes both WAN and LAN Ethernet ports, so it's easily connected
to a broadband modem and a computer using Ethernet cables, with wireless
connection to Wi-Fi compatible devices.
