KUALA LUMPUR: Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (P1) launched its latest WiMAX modem — the DV230 — that integrates WiMAX, WiFi and voice functionalities into one stylish and compact device.

The DV230 integrates WiFi router functionality to deliver wireless, hassle-free Internet connectivity to multiple users from one device with just one connection.

Combined with P1’s W1MAX high-performance network, it is claimed to provide the perfect solution to subscribers who typically share one connection with multiple computers. In addition to making the setting up of high-speed WiFi networks simple and affordable, P1 said, the DV230 maximises W1MAX strengths by allowing users to create micro hotspots where W1MAX coverage is available.

With the DV230, subscribers can tap into W1MAX networks outside their homes and offices and share it with friends and family.

The modem is available with 12- and 24-month subscription plans. As an added bonus, the DV230 is provided free with a two-year warranty for the device when customers subscribe to the 24-month plan.
