A Must Have for Cellular Broadband/3G Card Users

Tuesday, October 20, 2009 by Chad Whaley
Due to the nature of my business, I need to have the ability to stay constantly connected via a barrage of remote worker solutions.  Although my Blackberry fills a lot of the gaps, there are many times when a 3G/Broadband card is required.  I've had a Verizon Wireless 3G card for a few years and always travel with it no matter if I'm traveling for business or pleasure.  One of the drawbacks to using a broadband card is the inability to easily share it or have multiple devices connected to the Internet at the same time.

NexConnect 3G Wireless RouterA wireless router would fit the bill because it would allow me to share my broadband Internet connection as well as plug in a computer via the Ethernet port.  Until just recently the only options I had found were over priced and highly unreliable, not to mention bulky for a road warrior traveling.

If you own almost ANY carrier or almost ANY model of cellular broadband card, then the NexConnect 3G Wireless Router is a MUST HAVE remote worker solutions!  For most business or home users, the consumer line will suffice.  They also offer a Business Class version which offers some advance VPN features for the more stringent remote worker solutions.

Both models accept USB and PCMCIA style broadband cards (PCMCIA card plugs into the side of the unit not shown in attached pictures).  Unlike some of the more expensive competitive products, the NexConnect router works with with broadband cards from multiple carrier networks.

Have you ever thought about using your broadband card as a fail-over to your main Internet connection?  This router comes equipped with a fail-over mode which senses when the main Internet connection goes down and then switches over to the broadband card Internet connection.  One of the two Ethernet ports on the back are for this purpose.

This router also ranks highly on my affordable router solutions list.  The consumer version retails for $119 and the business class version retails for $189.  We are selling both options at a discount from the retail pricing and can drop ship right to your home or business.  In my opinion, most remote worker solutions business users will do just fine with the consumer version.
