GlobeSurfer X.1 - 3G USB Modem Router Leaving No Carrier Behind

Option wants to take your 3G broadband service and allow you to serve it up to your fellow man via WiFi. The company claims that its new GlobeSurfer X.1 can take any connected USB Broadband 3G/HSPA USB modem from any carrier and churn out lovely 802.11b/g/n-Mimo at up to 160Mbps per second. Currently, it's a little overkill since the fastest wireless broadband, HSPA+, can only manage 802.11g speeds via this Sierra USB modem.

This true all-in-one device is quite nearly an office-in-a-box supporting USB printers, wired networking and file server connections. The broadband data can actually be configured as a fail-over using an ADSL router for its primary data connection. Now all this is quite a tall order given all the hoops that broadband software makes you jump through to get connected, probably best to wait until a compatible hardware list to come out. Debuting at the MWC in Barcelona this week, snatch one up when they come out and this 3x3" wonder will turn you into the packet peddling Robin Hood in one fell swoop. No word on release date or price.
