Autonet Mobile: First Car Internet Provider

Of course, no one bothers to use conventional mobile communications on the road and connect to the Internet, for example, via GPRS or other “mobile” standards: EV-DO or UMTS / HSDPA. A modem with the support of the desired protocol can be inserted into a laptop or PDA, or a mobile phone can be used as a modem. But what to do if several people want to connect to the Internet at once, and they do not want to go into the details of setting up the equipment. In addition, Internet access is needed for other devices: a player, a music center, etc.

The American company Autonet Mobile has figured out how to elegantly solve this problem. It will turn your car into a hot spot on the wheels.

A wireless WiFi hotspot worth $ 400 is set up in the car, which, apparently, works through the EV-DO network of the Verizon operator. All the passengers of the car are connected to this hot spot, the benefit is that WiFi support is now available in many devices: from laptops to mobile phones and game consoles.

The Verizon network covers approximately 95% of all highways in the US ( map ), so that car hot spots will always be in touch.

It seems that this technology is very user friendly. Now they do not need to bother with settings or tariff plans, use SIM-cards and modems. Just went into the car, started the engine - and you are online.

The cost of a subscription to the car Internet will be $ 50 per month. The commercial launch of the new service will be held in spring 2007.
