Consolidated Gulf Co (CGC) has launched MyZone mobile 3G router in Qatar. The MyZone, a product of NetComm Limited (ASX: NTC), a top global developer of broadband technology, is a Mobile 3G WiFi router positioned between a 3G USB Modem and a 3G Router. Similar to a 3G USB Modem, the MyZone is compact and portable yet has the ability to connect multiple devices, combining the best of both worlds into one unit.

As well as Apple’s iPad, the MyZone can support up to six wireless devices concurrently such as notebooks, smartphones, cameras and gaming consoles. Its integrated lithium-ion battery delivers power for up to six hours of operation and 40 hours whilst idle. It allows users to charge via the included micro USB cable while maintaining its WiFi signal.

Connecting to the Internet is achieved by using either your current 3G data SIM card or purchasing a pre-paid or post-paid SIM card and inserting it into the MyZone. Compatible with all Qatari 3G networks* and many global 3G networks, users can move their Internet connection anywhere there is mobile network coverage.

Compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems, the MyZone delivers download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps and upload speeds of 5.76Mbps for large file transfers. The device also offers users an intuitive user interface, enabling non-technical users to easily set up and configure their MyZone.

The MyZone platform supports 3G Tri-band 850MHz, 1900MHz, and 2100MHz for local and international services.

Anil Mahajan, COO, CGC, said, we are very excited about the usability of this new 3G mobile broadband product into the Qatari market. With its performance, lightweight design, superior battery life and very user-friendly features, the MyZone is all set to rock the technology-savvy people of Qatar. We have also trained our sales personnel so as to keep our valued consumers connected even on the go.”

The MyZone is available at all CGC stores and dealer outlets across Qatar. Accessories to the MyZone can also be made available such as the MyZone Car Kit.
