Option's GlobeSurfer 3G HSDPA router

by Ryan Block posted Feb 13th 2006 at 11:31AM

Option's announced the latest entrant into the increasingly hot 3G WiFi router space, their new GlobeSurfer 3G HSDPA. The GlobeSurfer 3G HSDPA features an 1.8Mbps HSDPA / UMTS interface, 802.11b/g WiFi, and all the standards (Ethernet, SPI firewall, NAT, DMZ, VPN, DHCP, SNMP, etc.) and a few goodies (UPnP, web-based SMS client). No word yet on price or release, but there are two prime-candidate HSDPA networks we can think of off the top of our heads: Cingular's US network, and T-Mobile's upcoming German network upgrade (and that's only if Option doesn't exercise their option to release independent of a carrier).

my internet connection uses a 3g USB plug-in modem. I now wish to connect another machine via wireless networking, and have bought an Option Globesurfer 3g HSPDA. I expected this to have a USB port, but it requires insertion of SIM card. This bit is ok, and the quick set up appears straightforward. The problem comes because the ISP requires a pin code typed into its software. However, when Globesurfer shows " enter pincode at PC", the software will not allow it, because it cannot see the SIM!
Please help - I am not usually stupid, but I cannot see a way around this!
TIA
Kim
