CHAPTER1 INTRODUCTION
AXIMCom’s Mobile Router Series is designed for heavy network users, renters, mobile offices, outdoor hotspots
and anyone using 3G/4G as a replacement for a fixed line connection. By simply connecting a 3G/4G modem,
you can create a mobile broadband network anytime, anywhere, for a group of users and devices to share.
Since the mobile broadband is shared, the ‘cost per user/device’ is then consequently reduced. Furthermore,
AXIMCom’s Mobile Router Series also supports 802.11n technology, so you can enjoy the fast and large area
wireless coverage!
