Kfar, Israel, June 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Connect One™, the Device Networking Authority™, is shipping Wi-REACH Classic, a compact, battery-operated, mobile, personal WiFi hotspot that delivers high-speed Internet connectivity for laptops, netbooks, tablet PCs and other wireless devices, to distributors worldwide. Wi-REACH Classic transforms existing 3G USB modem into a personal WiFi cloud that can be easily shared between as many as 10 Wi-Fi devices. Connect One’s Wi-REACH Classic provides natural mobile Internet connectivity for tablet devices such as Apple’s iPadTM that use WiFi as the main or only interface to the network.

Wi-REACH Classic offers extensive coverage and long battery life. In addition to supporting more than 130 3G modems worldwide, Wi-REACH Classic’s innovative technology extends this support by identifying any 3G USB modems and attempting to deliver connectivity to unlisted modems as well.

Wi-REACH Classic’s battery can even be recharged during operation using the supplied AC adapter or a special two-headed USB cable that recharges the battery from the USB ports of a laptop computer.
