Introduction to the WiFlyer®+v
Base Station
he portable WiFlyer+v wireless bridge allows you to instantly set up all your
office communications needs. Simply connect to any wireless WiFi network to
enable a high-quality Internet phone line, two Ethernet data ports and a USB
network printer connection.
Affordable Internet Phone Line
Over broadband WiFi, the WiFlyer+v provides a standard telephone connection with its
own local telephone number, unlimited calling in the U.S. and Canada, and advanced
premium features such as Call Waiting, Caller ID, 3-way Conferencing and Voice Mail.
Never Miss Calls
Select to ring your Internet phone and cell phone at the same time & you can pick up the
call wherever more convenient. At home, use the Internet phone instead of your cell
phone to reduce cell phone charges & improve call quality.
No Dedicated Phone Required
If you already have an existing phone and landline, you can share it for Internet calling
too. Internet calls ring twice while Call Waiting allows switching between the two lines.
Convenient, Wireless Printing
Connect a printer directly to its USB or Ethernet port and print from any desktop or
laptop computer on the local wireless network.
Long Range, High-Speed Ethernet
Connect your desktop or laptop computer directly to a 10/100 Ethernet port to get a
faster, more reliable data connection at longer ranges than using an ordinary WiFi
adapter. To further extend range, easily upgrade to a hi-gain antenna through a standard
SMA connector.
