An EVDO to Wifi gateway in a notebook-sized linux box.

I think I've just solved my on-the-road internet access and my
anti-stop'n'rob video system problem all in one fell swoop. A verizon
EVDO subscription, this hardware, a webcam mounted in the truck
feeding video and sound back to my server at home and of course, my
laptop with a WiFi card. It'll be wonderful to be able to take the
laptop into buildings, restaurants and other places where the EVDO
won't reach and still have broadband WiFi access.

Or put this little box, a battery and/or a solar cell on a high spot
while camping and have WiFi at your campsite.

I feel the strain arisin' on my debit card already.

Fraid I don't understand that box at all... Netgear has had one for sale
Heres a post from alt.internet.wireless
from the marketing text...
High-Level Capability
NETGEAR's Wireless Mobile Broadband Router has a PC Card slot containing a
UMTS TD-CDMA PC Card as the reliable broadband connection to the Internet.
This single wireless connection can then be shared among several devices on
a local area network to provide immediate, high-speed connectivity. Four
10/100 Ethernet LAN ports support up to 253 networked computers and a
built-in 802.11g wireless access point extends the network to support up to
54 Mbps throughput.

Still uses a cell data card... Looks like the same device but with a
different PCMCIA card in it.

Excerpt:
Two of the more prominent WiMax rivals on the market are Fast Low-latency
Access with Seamless Handoff-Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing
(FLASH-OFDM), sold by Flarion Technologies Inc., and Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System Time-Division Code Division Multiple Access (UMTS
TD-CDMA), which IPWireless Inc. promotes as an easy migration for cellular
operators. FLASH-OFDM got a boost earlier this month when Qualcomm Inc.
agreed to acquire Flarion. Both of these technologies offer mobility today
and are in commercial use.
