For example, the ability to partition the router to create multiple networks, both public (customer WiFi) and private (POS devices, 3rd party applications, employee laptops, etc.), to simplify PCI compliance.
The modular configuration enables great flexibility in primary connection, failover connections and load-balancing situations.

Wilson Electronics announced the availability of the company’s 4G LTE 700 signal booster, built to improve the performance of any LTE device operating on Verizon Wireless’TM 700 MHz 4G network.

With a suggested retail price of $359.95, the Wilson 4G LTE 700 is the most affordable consumer 4G booster available. And unlike other 4G boosters on the market, Wilson’s feature very fast automatic oscillation sensing technology and auto-shutdown, as well as cell tower proximity detection and auto-shutdown, in addition to other cell site protection safeguards. These features make it the safest consumer 4G signal booster available.

It also features the highest signal gain for a consumer booster at 70 dB—for maximum coverage area indoors. The results are reliable connections where before there was weak signal or no signal, and faster data transfer speeds.

The 4G LTE 700 features separate adjustable gain controls – one for the uplink (device- to-tower communication), and another for the downlink (tower-to-device communication). These gain controls allow the unit’s gain, or signal amplification level, to be optimized for its specific location. This also simplifies the installation process by allowing for more flexibility in the correct placement of the booster’s interior and exterior antennas.

Apple announced that the white iPhone 4 will be available beginning tomorrow. White iPhone 4 models will be available from Apple’s online store (www.apple.com), at Apple’s retail stores, AT&T and Verizon Wireless stores and select Apple Authorized Resellers.

“The white iPhone 4 has finally arrived and it’s beautiful,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “We appreciate everyone who has waited patiently while we’ve worked to get every detail right.”

iPhone 4 is the most innovative phone in the world, featuring Apple’s stunning Retina™ display, the highest resolution display ever built into a phone resulting in super crisp text, images and video, and FaceTime®, which makes video calling a reality.

White models of iPhone 4 will be available in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Macau, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, UK and the US, beginning Thursday, April 28 and in many more countries around the world soon. White iPhone 4 will be available for a suggested retail price of $199 (US) for the 16GB model and $299 (US) for the 32GB model with a new two year agreement through the Apple Store (www.apple.com), at Apple’s retail stores, AT&T and Verizon Wireless stores and select Apple Authorized Resellers.

Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced iPad 2 which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices

At 8:10 p.m. EST yesterday, Verizon Wireless ceased online orders of iPhone 4 to existing customers and ended the most successful first day sales in the history of the company.

“This was an exciting day,” said Dan Mead, president and chief executive officer for Verizon Wireless. “In just our first two hours, we had already sold more phones than any first day launch in our history. And, when you consider these initial orders were placed between the hours of 3 a.m. and 5 a.m., it is an incredible success story. It is gratifying to know that our customers responded so enthusiastically to this exclusive offer — designed to reward them for their loyalty.

“I am proud of our employees who worked tirelessly to strengthen and scale our systems, enabling unprecedented customer orders through our website. Overall, it was a very good day,” he added.

Mead also said customers will have another opportunity at being among the nation’s first to own an iPhone 4 on the Verizon Wireless network.

The general market launch of the iPhone 4 on the Verizon Wireless network will occur on February 10. The company will open its more than 2000 Verizon Wireless Stores at 7 a.m. It will also be available at all Apple store locations, Best Buy, select Wal-Mart stores, and on-line at verizonwireless.com and apple.com.

Verizon is not wasting a chance to hit back at AT&T, with its new iPhone 4 ad it makes clear that for the first time iPhone users will be able to have a decent conversation without any drop calls. The phrase “I can here you now” will hunt down AT&T for a long time and Verizon will enjoy its better voice coverage, but could get trapped into a fight over the data speed, which is said to be slower than AT&T, So the fight has just begin…. In the end the only one benefiting from this fight is the customer
