Portable 3G/4G router offers iPhone hotspot


Built-in iPhone hotspots? Bah! Who needs one? Not with AXIM Communications’ handy little MR-102N 3G/4G Travel Mobile Router in your pocket.

This little portable gadget works with iPhones and select Android devices to turn a 3G or 4G data connection into an 802.11n Wifi hotspot. Typically smartphone hotspots are a colossal battery drain to the handset, but the MR-102N comes with its own 1700 mAh battery that even charges your phone while connected. As for cellular connections, the networks it supports are diverse — including HSDPA, HSUPA, EV-DO, UMTS, and GPRS. That means you’re not stuck using only one type of network; you’ll be able to continue using this even if you change carriers.

Best part? It’s compatible with almost every iPhone — the 3G, 3GS and the 4!

BoyGenius Report took this for a spin recently with an iPhone 3GS and got up to 4-5 Mbps speeds! That’s just on a 3G smartphone. Since the router also supports 4G, the theoretical maximum speed is actually as much as 42 Mbps — a limit that no current 3G device can even come close to smoking.
