Following on from their recent deal made with Wi-Fi provider The Cloud, Orange have announced the development of a new router that will surely appeal to users unable to get a decent broadband connection due to fixed line issues.

The Orange Flybox allows users to connect to the net via a Wi-Fi connection, therefore bypassing the physical problems of ADSL. The Flybox contains an integrated SIM card and will provide speeds of up to 1Mbps within a 3 kilometer radius of the nearest exchange.

Whilst this is not especially fast speed, broadband via Wi-Fi is a practical solution for ADSL customers who can’t even get 1Mbps on a standard line due to any number of reasons; exchange proximity, the age of the copper, etc.

The Flybox will provide a ‘line’ for voice calls as well as four ports for networking capabilities. The router is due to be released in Spain next month and will come to the UK later on in the new year.
