Rogers Rocket Hub Allows Users to Share Mobile Broadband

8:17 pm on October 3, 2009 | Category: Cellular, Internet, Telecom Services, Wireless Technology

Rogers Wireless has launched its second new mobile broadband product in under a week, allowing multiple users to share a single cellular internet connection via a ‘Rocket Hub.’

The Rocket Hub accesses the internet using Rogers’ 7.1-Mbps HSPA broadband network (where available), then streams it to one more more computers using either Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable.

“The Rocket Hub, seamlessly integrating both voice and Internet services in one simple, cost-effective solution, provides businesses and consumers the option of a reliable, portable voice and data connection where and when they need it,” commented Rogers’ Chief Marketing Officer, John Boynton. “With the launch of the first fixed offering in the mobile internet category, Rogers is once again listening to our customers and delivering the newest innovations to meet their needs.”

This product should be especially useful to customers that want to share a high-speed internet connection in areas where no fixed broadband infrastructure is available.

Rogers has not yet released pricing details for the Rocket Hub, but says it will be available later this month with mobile data plans starting at $35 per month.
