NETGEAR and Ericsson announced a technology collaboration with 3G infrastructure, resulting in the launch of the new NETGEAR MBRN3300E 3G Mobile Broadband Router with internal 3G radio, available now. Ericsson contributes its leadership in 3G mobile networks, while NETGEAR contributes world-class expertise in routing, firewalls, wireless and IP networks.

Now available, the MBRN3300E Mobile Broadband Router combines a 3G WAN with 802.11n wireless and Ethernet LAN. As evidence of its industry-leading features, this Mobile Router sports 270 Mbps on the wireless LAN side and a full-featured firewall. Utilizing the Ericsson 3G mobile broadband technology, the MBRN3300E offers cost-efficient Internet access for home and business users and is ideal for:
locations that lack wired infrastructure;
as an alternative to DOCSIS®, DSL or Fiber to the Home (FTTH); and
Internet access from trains, buses, automobiles, RVs or boats.

This new NETGEAR mobile broadband router offers many unique features not previously able to be delivered in a single device, including:
Live Parental Controls and content filtering
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), VPN pass-through and Denial of Service protection
Guest networks (multiple SSID) capability to enable customers to set up multiple wireless networks within a home or small business. (This is especially useful for setting up a dedicated network for guests to give them access to the Internet but not other resources and files on the network.)
Automatic Quality of Service (QoS) for reliable video, voice and gaming
A broadband usage meter to ensure accurate measurement of download Internet traffic with customized alerts when close to the monthly bandwidth threshold to help avoid excess usage charges
Push ‘N’ Connect with industry standard Wi-Fi® Protected Setup (WPS) for securely connecting devices at the touch of a button
On/off switches for power and 3G / Wi-Fi to help customers conserve energy
Optional car power charger and a battery pack for complete mobile usage
