Rogers Wireless announced the Rocket Hub today, which shares a wireless Internet connection across multiple users. The Rocket Hub taps into the mobile Internet through Rogers 7.2Mpbs HSPA network where its available, allowing more than one user to connect to the Internet using Ethernet or Wi-Fi. This should be an interesting, effective solution to getting connected in areas without fixed lines.
The Rocket Hub runs on an Ericsson W3x core, which means it also offers voice support (over UMTS) in addition to Internet connectivity. The 7.2Mbps speed should be fast enough for the needs of most people.
Rogers Wireless will launch the Rocket Hub later this month, and will set you back at least 35 Canadian dollars a month for the most basic plan. You’ll also need to shell out a little extra for the hardware, but it should be worth every penny if you’ve been wondering how to get Internet access for all of your devices and not just one, especially if you expect to stay in one place.
