NETGEAR Femtocell Voice Gateway (DVG834GH)

Published on May 15, 2008 in Gadgets, Hardware, Internet Tools, Mobile, Networking and Tech World. 1 Comment

Seven products in one, the Femtocell Voice Gateway reduces the clutter of multiple networking devices and the jumble of wires. The gateway simply plugs into an ADSL line and enables consumers to share their broadband connection to the Internet with all of their mobile devices and networked computers, both wired and wirelessly. Featuring a 3G (UMTS) femtocell with HSDPA, plus high-speed 802.11g Wi-Fi and four 10/100 Ethernet ports, the Femtocell Voice Gateway makes it possible for end-users to download large files, video conference, and distribute and play high-quality digital movies, photos and MP3s on mobile devices in the blink of an eye.

In addition to its unparalleled capabilities, the NETGEAR Femtocell Voice Gateway also includes NETGEAR’s Smart Wizard® Install Assistant for ease of installation and management. Simplifying and accelerating setup, Smart Wizard automatically detects and configures the gateway for virtually all ISP connections. Then, easy to follow on-screen prompts guide users through each step of installation.

The Femtocell Voice Gateway’s double firewall (NAT + SPI) protects the network with business-class security against intruders and malicious attacks, including logs and alerts of break-in attempts, while the VPN pass-through allows safe connections to business networks from a home or office. Also ideal for VoIP, the Femtocell Voice Gateway, which supports SIP and several popular codecs, turns broadband lines into both a private mobile network and a phone line to minimize phone costs. Designed to industry standards-based specifications with TR-069 Remote Management, the femtocell gateway can also support the future addition of such advanced features as IGMP Multimedia Support.

“With the growing deployment of high speed 3G services, combined with the popularity of multimedia handsets, mobile phones are fast becoming the convenient way of accessing the Internet, media content, and messaging.  Femtocells dramatically extend this convenience factor, giving mobile users great coverage and maximum speed 3G data in a low-cost environment – at home.” said Will Franks, CTO and Co-founder of Ubiquisys.

“Our development with NETGEAR delivers on the promise of a fully integrated home gateway, placing the mobile phone at the center of innovative residential service models. Ubiquisys femtocells are currently in trials with ten mobile operators, providing further evidence of the company’s leadership in the femtocell space.”

The NETGEAR Femtocell Voice Gateway (DVG834GH) can be seen in action at the Ubiquisys stand (1G19) at Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona, February 11-14, 2008.

BluePhoneElite 2.0.9 Days away from release !

Published on April 9, 2008 in Mobile, Software, Tech World and Utilities. 0 Comments

icon.jpgBluephone Elite 2 has been a realisation for several months now and has been a fantastic application for the seamless incorporation of mobile phone technology with a Mac OS computer. Well things are about to get even better, in the next few days version 2.0.9 will officially be released, patching several small bugs and adding several new features, including the ability to now export and import messages, call logs and personal data from (a feature which has been missing for some time !).

Several other features including a quick SMS widget for dashboard, closer integration with the phone address book and enhanced talk through features have also been rumoured, and finally a feature which has long been sought after – group text messaging !

The update is also rumoured to be coming with support for several new phones which previously have been incompatible with this invaluable piece of software, and a substantial hint that the company is working on a support mechanism for the iPhone, which unfortunately at current is hardly supported within the elite’s abilities.

So, watch this space people… MiraSoftware

iPhone Unlocking… An Easy Reality !

IPhone unlocking now as easy as 1..2..3, the IPhone dev team (after a small april fools intermission) have finally released their new Pwnage tool for unlocking the IPhone (and possibly iPod Touch) to use any software.

Pwnage lets you load in any firmware you want, including patched firmwares not signed by Apple — which could lead to everything from custom software distributions to totally new OSs ported over (like, say, Android or Linux).

Video available at engadget proving the validity of the dev teams claims, as well as hundreds of people now crammed into their IRC channel boasting about their newly activated 2.0 firmware running a whole host of random providers now !

On a personal note, this is awesome news, still not sure if ill be rushing out to purchase one of these bad boys, at £269 their still a little over the price id be willing to pay… But rumours are ripe at current about the 2nd generation of iPhone where 3G will be the order of the day with a possible GPS unit as standard… that could possibly be the tipping point for my decision ! Oh yea, and would someone please make this thing compatible with BluePhone Elite, I cant seem to text anymore without that application lol !

Sony MBW-150 FCC Approval !

Published on September 5, 2007 in Expensive Stuff, Gadgets, Mobile and Tech World. 1 Comment

Well, for those of you who know me, you may remember by slight obsession with the MBW-100 Sony Bluetooth watch which has been on the market for about a year now, well I (any many other people) gave up on this marvellous product as soon as we clicked on the Sony Shop link on their website and saw the price tag… No Thanks !

Well, the second coming is here… A second generation of this product hit the sony website about 6 months ago, advirtising the MBW-150, a range of 3 further watches, all equipped with similar features as the 100, but hopefully carrying a slightly more appealing price tag ! Unfortunatly, these releases have been caught up in the FCC approval scheme and very little news of their progress into the market has been heard !

Well that all changed recently with FCC approval being published and sony moving again towards a release date ! So keep ya eyes on this, who knows… This one might even cost less that designer TAG !
