0 The Functions and Features of 3G Routers


A 3G router is a device that accesses the internet via a cellular network; in turn devices that utilize the broadband connection are connected to it. They are also known as 3G modems and they come in a variety of different form factors and methods for connecting to devices. 3G is distributed via radio waves through cellular networks and can achieve speeds of around 2MPBS. Although somewhat mediocre by today's standards, it is still relatively fast for most browsing needs.
A 3G router has the benefit of being not needing cables and as such there is no need for a dedicated static position. These routers can be moved to different locations to utilize cellular network doing away with complicated wiring and the need for a telephone or cable line. This level of portability has made them popular with travelers and city dwellers as it liberates them from the need of staying at home to enjoy a relatively fast internet connection.
The form factor of a 3G modem can differ from one device to the next depending on how it is meant to be used and how it interfaces with a digital device. Some of these devices can be as small as a USB stick and interfaces with the device via USB port. These thumb sized devices are ideal for people on the go and need a quick way to connect to the internet without the need of batteries with their laptop or other USB enabled device. Although highly portable these thumb sized devices are limited in their ability to secure fast connections since the antenna is relatively small. Another limitation is that it can only be used on devices that have a USB port.
A more technologically friendly 3G router is one that has about the size and shape of a cell phone. A device like this can connect via USB or often with Wi-Fi. A device like this is often known as a portable hot spot and can provide broadband connections to more than one device connected to it. These devices have their own battery and need to be charged when the battery has been exhausted, which can be a drawback at times. These devices often have better reception than the USB dongle versions as they have a powered and dedicated antenna to receive the signal.
For more permanent use there are the heavier bulkier dedicated 3G routers, these are often mounted on top of roofs to maximize the signal they receive. They are powered by a wall socket and are connected via a LAN cable. These are not portable in the least bit as they require an electrical socket to function. Although they are not portable these devices are able to be mounted in locations to get the best possible reception. They are often used in rural areas or densely populated areas where stringing a telephone line may be difficult.
A 3G modem or 3G router is a good way of connecting to the internet due to the portability and high-speed access that cellular networks now provide.
