Vodafone Access Gateway: turn your router into a mini mobile mast RSS

vodafone-access-gateway1Ever had problems with mobile phone signal at home? Well now thanks to Vodafone and a little thing they call the Vodafone Access Gateway (pictured), you can set up a miniature mobile phone network in your own home using your broadband connection.

Much in the same was as you’d set up a wireless network in the home for multiple computers and laptops to connect to, Vodafone Access Gateway plugs directly into your broadband line and wirelessly routes all voice calls, texts and data requests across your connection.

Seeing as voice calls and texts aren’t hugely data intensive compared to say streaming music and video online, this shouldn’t have a huge impact on your monthly usage. This is great news for those who live in areas where mobile coverage is patchy at the best of times, and can’t always get through to friends and family on their mobiles.

The Vodafone Access Gateway will be available to order in store and online from the 1st of July. The Gateway will be available on Vodafone price plans from as little as £15 a month, or for a one off fee of £160. No news as of yet if the Gateway will be available at a discounted price when bought with Vodafone mobile broadband; we’d assume that some sort of deal along those lines would be available in the future.

    I’m currently in the process of emigrating to Australia, I wonder if this device will allow me to connect to vodafone UK at UK rates? This could be quite handy!
