Etisalat launched the router yesterday in response to the growing demand for mobile broadband Internet services in the UAE.

The Etisalat router, available for Dh999 at Etisalat Business Centres and other outlets across the UAE, allows up to 32 people to connect to the Internet simultaneously using a single USIM card through Wi-Fi technology. Moreover, the number of users of the same router could be unlimited by adapting a ‘switch’ or ‘hub’ to both the PC and the laptop.

The wireless 3.5G mobile router also offers access speeds up to 7.2Mbps in more than 98 per cent of the populated areas of the UAE.

Etisalat router subscribers need to only place their USIM cards in the easy-to-move, easy-to-use routers to establish a connection.

The lightweight, user-friendly device is equipped with a sensitive antenna suited for optimum network connectivity and can be powered through a PC USB port.
