The KR2 Mobile Router allows you to create a Wi-Fi® hotspot virtually anywhere. It uses 1xEV-DO as its WAN backhaul and functions like an access point supporting multiple computers and devices with wireless broadband connectivity. All you need is a PCMCIA Card, Express card, USB (phone or modem), or cable modem connection. The KR2 Mobile Router is especially useful for mobile work groups such as emergency mobile deployments, dispatch teams, consultants, road-warrior sales groups, satellite offices, command posts, in RV's or public transportation, and more. It can also be used as a reliable alternative or in conjunction with fixed broadband services in your home.

Highlights

* Flexible broadband connectivity with a PCMCIA, Express card, or USB connection (phone or modem) enables you to set up a Wi-Fi hotspot virtually anywhere.
* Multiple users can share high-speed connections with rates up to 3.1 Mbps.
* Fail-over capabilities for use as a conventional router with wireless EV-DO as a backup.
* Cable Modem capable
* Smooth migration to future EV-DO releases and upgradeable firmware.
* Wi-Fi Protected Setup for improved security when pairing with another Wi-Fi device, preventing unauthorized devices from connecting.


Additional Features

* Built-in 10/100 Mbps switch with 4 Ethernet ports
* Automatic receipt of IP addresses with DHCP server
* Easy setup and management of secured LAN with WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi protected access with Pre-Shared Key), and a push button for WPS (Wi-Fi protected Setup).
* Browser-based configuration and easy set-up wizard.
* Access Control to manage users
* NAT with VPN pass-through
* Industry-leading firewall security
* User-friendly configuration and diagnostic utilities
* Wi-Fi Operates in 2.4 GHz frequency range
* Signal Strength Meter at start-up
* Wi-Fi® Certified
* Multi-language firmware

Well if you could remove the RUIM, then yes anything would work, but that is the point. Neotel lock you in with their devices because you cannot remove the RUIM "sim".

READ THAT!!!!!

I actually checked the device it has USB...
 
That looks like something that could work together with the Neotel USB phone but you would need to test it first as there might be incompatibility problems with some USB devices. Some of the 3G/HSDPA routers do not work with every available device on the market even though they might have the correct interface such as PCMCIA/USB etc. You could even try the Neotel device with one of the HSDPA USB routers.

The Australians seem to have had some success with attaching Huawei E220's to the Asus WL-500g Premium router running Koppel firmware. This firmware also supports several USB CDMA devices such as modems or phones (presumably most devices based on either an FTDI or a Prolific PL2303 USB to serial bridge controller). I think the Neotel device uses an FTDI controller. This router sells for around R850 in SA but for less than R500 in the US or Far East so this might also be worth investigating.

This company loads the Koppel firmware and then resells the Asus router as a 3G/HSDPA router ...

Nope D-Link in SA does not have a Express Card router. The only one that comes close is the DIR-451, standard 3G router.
