So it's clear that we're
not really getting
all of our hip-cool tech news out of Bucharest, Romania, but if it's the world's first
HSDPA Wireless Broadband Router we're not going to let that stand in the way. TOPEX has just announced their newest
BYTTON wireless router, which includes WiFi, VPN, a Firewall, LAN and Video Surveillance Server abilities, and of
course your everyday HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, EV-DO, and CDMA 1x support. Sure, it's not quite the fashion statement
that the
Junxion Box is, and we're
fairly sure it's using different PCMCIA cards and not some sort of ancient Romanian magic to support all those wireless
standards, but it's still a winner in our book.
Update: Turns out this isn't the
"world's first" HSDPA router after all, since Junxion has had support for the Cingular HSDPA cards for a
while now. The revised statement should read: "world's least green HSDPA router."

"With this move, [TOPEX] enlarges its wide ranging Broadband Routers Family. Currently it covers the following technologies: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, CDMA 1x and EV-DO."
I'm pretty sure that doesn't mean this router has all those protocols; it sounds more like "it" means their *family* of routers. So, no one router does them all, but, whichever protocol you need, you can buy it from TOPEX.

Important to be mentioned about this Router is that the HSDPA embedded module is backward compatible for GPRS, EDGE and UMTS. It has been already tested on newly launched HSDPA Vodafone network in Hannover Germany during CeBIT trade fair.
I can also confirm that TOPEX Router Family of products consists of different versions for CDMA1x, EV-DO and UMTS TDD "module inside".
Therefore, the ancient Romania magic proved to be the contemporary Romanian mastermind that you can count on
