CradlePoint at Warehouse Express

Press release:
Battery Wi-Fi router makes instant picture uploading available…anywhere!*
   
Warehouse Express, the award-winning online photography retail specialist, is pleased to announce the immediate availability of CradlePoint’s PHS300 plug’n’play Wi-Fi Router. Combined with Eye-Fi’s market leading Wi-Fi-enabled camera memory cards, the system enables photographers to instantly send pictures to their chosen online destination even when they are not near a pre-existing Wi-Fi router or hotspot.

“Eye-Fi has become immensely popular with photographers, both professionals and amateurs alike,” said Hans Wuurman, Category Manager, Warehouse Express. “It is very easy to use and your pictures are safely sent online straight away.  But up to now it has had the restriction that the Wi-Fi router needed to make the internet connection has been either mains powered or is an insecure public access point which can be costly.  But with the PHS300, photographers can stay fully connected whilst working in the field… literally!”.
After an extensive audit of the market Warehouse Express decided that the CradlePoint technology was clearly the best for their customers.  The pocket-sized CradlePoint PHS300 is a battery-powered personal Wi-Fi hotspot device. Measuring just 122mmx73mmx18.5mm and weighing only 128 grams, the device offers the
surprisingly heavyweight capability of securely supporting 16 Wi-Fi devices over a 45 metre range. The in-built rechargeable Li Ion battery has a typical continuous run time of three hours and an optional external battery pack can extend this up to eight hours in total. “I could imagine this set up paying dividends for a jobbing photographer who has to cover shows or spends days travelling from shoot-to-shoot for a local paper - equally it could bring domestic peace to a holiday.” commented Rob Spray, commercial freelance professional photographer. “I enjoyed being my own hot-spot, and looking for more ways to use it! Pairing the Cradlepoint with an Eye-Fi card was remarkably cool. Wonderfully wireless!”
 
The CradlePoint PHS300 is available from Warehouse Express for £86.99 for immediate delivery. In addition, Warehouse Express are stocking CradlePoint’s CTR500 multi-network capable load-balanced router with Ethernet, which is available for £141.99†. The CTR500 is primarily mains-powered but can be run with the same external battery pack as the PHS300.
