(West Gosford, NSW) – 8 February, 2006 – Belkin announces its new Wireless Travel Router, a pocket-sized device that lets you wirelessly share your hotel’s wired or wireless broadband access. Providing wireless freedom and flexibility, the Travel Router allows for sharing of one broadband Internet connection and files over multiple computers, so that you and your colleagues can be more productive—whether in a hotel or a conference room.

Fitting into the palm of your hand, the Belkin Wireless Travel Router features 802.11g technology, network security, and multifunctional capabilities. It offers a wide working range—up to 65 metres—and greater interoperability in mixed networking environments.

 

“Networking now has a cute new look in the travel space,” said Anthony Malone, Networking Product Manager for Belkin. “The Belkin Travel Router has all the features of a router, access point and client allowing travellers to share a broadband connection whether it be in a conference room, hotel room or even in your own home. Think about all those times that you have retired to your hotel room and would like to have been able to answer a few emails whilst relaxing on the bed, now with the Belkin Travel Router you can do exactly that,” said Mr Malone.

 

The Travel Router can also be used as a wireless adapter or an access point. As an adapter, it adds wireless capabilities to a computer so you can use it to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots. In access point mode, the Travel Router expands the coverage area of an existing network.
