EVDO Router

Two great wireless technologies merge in the Kyocera EVDO wireless router. This device lets you take a wireless network anywhere you can get an EVDO signal. EVDO is a high speed mobile phone connection that allows interent browsing, email downloading, etc at much higher speeds than a standard GPRS connection.

Practical uses of this device would be to take a wireless network to an event without a hard-wired interent connection. Could be useful in emergency situations where medical teams could all access the net via wifi enabled PDAs connected to this router.
