They have also announced their new Nfiniti High Power Wireless Router will come in three different versions with the main highlight of all three being the ability to manage dual wireless connections. No pricing info is available yet for either of these products. [Akihabara]

Ericsson and Netgear have collaborated to launch a new 3G/Wi-Fi router in the form of the Netgear MBRN3300.

The device is ideal for use as a modem for homes where regular cable, DSL or fiber isn’t available, or for completely mobile local networks. The Netgear MBRN3300 supports Windows PC, Macintosh, and virtually all Ethernet devices. Too bad, there is no info on pricing or availability so far. [Netgear]
