More Disaster Response Wireless Connectivity
July 11th, 2006 | Published in Company Profiles, Wireless Medical Devices | 1 Comment
Entree Wireless has packaged the Kyocera mobile router (previous post here) in a rugged, self-contained battery/charger/equipment package to provide a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
The WBP-KR1
enclosure provides an internal plate for mounting a Kyocera KR1 EVDO/Wi-Fi
router, or
similar electronic device. It includes room for storage of cables and other
small devices and provides an internal 12V battery power connector for use
with standard vehicle power adaptors. For typical applications, such as to battery power the Kyocera KR1 router, the
84 watt-hour WBP will
operate for 20 hours on a single charge and can be recharged in less
than 3 hours via the built-in multi-mode charger. There are several
options for extending the range of the EVDO/Wi-Fi.

Very cool. This is just the thing for a temporary triage area to support wireless computing devices, patient monitors and other wireless medical devices.

The new Kyocera KR2 is now shipping. The KR2 replaces the venerable KR1 and improves upon it by using a WiFi N radio and adding an expresscard slot.
