D-Link Ships 3G-Connected WiFi Router

D-Link unveiled a family of 3G mobile broadband wireless routers to create a 802.11g/b-compatible wireless hotspot anywhere within range of a cellular network. By plugging a compatible 3G notebook adapter into the D-Link 3G Mobile Router's built-in card bus slot, users can get immediate access to EV-DO, UMTS or HSDPA networks. The D-Link router can then share this signal via 802.11g/b Wi-Fi technology to notebooks, PCs or other Wi-Fi-enabled devices. The D-Link routers are available in two versions: the DIR-450 (EV-DO) and DIR-451 (UMTS/HSDPA). Both versions offer WEP, WPA and WPA2 security. They also employ dual active firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential Internet attacks. The MSRP is $299.99.
