Internet connectivity has come a long way since the days of dial-up modems and tied up telephone lines, with connectivity options now ranging from high-speed ADSL connections to connectivity on the go with mobile devices that include 3 and 3G+ technology.

But aside from providing many ways of connecting to the Internet, the functionality and features of these devices (typically referred to as routers rather than modems), have increased exponentially, and with the convergence of technology, these routers now offer more than just a way to connect to the World Wide Web.

"With the increasing mobility of the workforce, there became a need for people to have similar functionality both in the office and on the move. This demand created the need for a product that can do much more than simply route data," says Gregory Solz, Sales Manager at Nology.
