Mobile workers get office in a box following latest launch

Following the 2008 launch of the original highly popular productivity device for mobile business users, Netcomm and Telstra have now announced the launch of the next generation of this device called the Telstra Turbo 7 Wireless Gateway.

Following recent upgrades by Telstra to its Next G network the upload speeds available through the new Turbo 7 Wireless Gateway will be improved through this 3G device, which is a world first. Metropolitan, capital and selected regional locations will be able to offer Telstra users typical upload speeds of anything from 300kbps to 3Mbps through the Turbo 7 Wireless Gateway with its new 5.8Mbps peak uplink rating.

Users will also have the ability to take a single Next G network service and with the necessary power and network coverage turn it into an Ethernet and mobile Wi-Fi hotspot using the gateway.

The Turbo 7 Wireless Gateway offers users a range of new features which includes a revised sleek brushed metal case, super-fast upload speeds, a USB 2.0 port and built-in voice port. It also offers the many features that were provided in the original Gateway like 2 Ethernet ports and Wi-Fi 802.11g support, Super-fast download speeds, superior network coverage of as much as 2 million square kilometres, enterprise grade security and easy setup and configuration.

Any businesses looking for a highly versatile method of connecting user when they are out of the office combined with excellent value for money will find the Telstra Turbo 7 Wireless Gateway an ideal productivity device said Mr Ross Fielding, the product management executive director for Telstra.

He said “The Telstra Turbo 7 Wireless Gateway equips businesses to take their own network and IT tools with them on customer visits, to events or when they need to set up temporary work sites. The Gateway can establish a 3G-powered local network in minutes allowing workers to share files, access the net, make fixed phone calls over the Telstra Next G™ network and access corporate databases or SASS applications at mobile broadband speeds. And the Gateway’s improved upload performance means users can send emails and upload files and data up to three times faster than the first generation Gateway.”
