Since more and more 3.5G/WiFi routers make their way onto the market, the companies manufacturing such products are trying their best in order to come up with devices that manage to distance themselves from the competition. And Huawei seems to have found a way to do so, since its new E583C 3.5G – Wi-Fi router delivers an enhanced level of functionality in a very aesthetically pleasing external package.

So, the E583C converts 3.5G HSPA mobile signal into a serious Wi-Fi coverage, automatically creating safe group Internet access and individual Wi-Fi hot points for up to five Wi-Fi-enabled digital devices. The E583C can also provide simultaneous internet access to a sixth device when it is connected to a laptop computer via a USB cable.

Its design is fashionable and handy (with net weight of 90 grams), and comes with a 1-inch color OLED display which can clearly show information such as operator-network details, signal strength, Wi-Fi connection status, and battery level.

Like all Huawei mobile broadband products, the E583C is a plug-and-play device, eliminating the hassle of installing any drivers to their laptops. Windows, Mac or Linux laptop users can enjoy high speed data transmission speeds of up to 5.76Mbps (uplink) and 7.2Mbps (downlink) through the networks of major 3.5G HSPA mobile broadband Internet service providers. The E583C also has a built-in microSD memory card slot (maximum 32GB) that can serve as a USB memory stick.

Unfortunately, the Huawei E583C 3.5G/Wi-Fi router will only be available in Hong Kong, for the time being, where it will retail for around HK$1,380 (roughly 177 US dollars).
