“Autonet Mobile launches its new wireless service that turns any car into a WiFi Hotspot at the Consumer Electronics Show”.

According to a recent BusinessWeek article, a company called Autonet Mobile is launching a service at the Consumer Electronics Show next week in Las Vegas that allows any car to be a secure, mobile, WiFi Hotspot. Any car on 95% of roads in the United States will be able to extend broadband on-the-go Internet service to every passenger in the car, on a variety of devices simultaneously.

The Autonet Mobile Unit is priced to retail at US$399 with a monthly service charge of US$49 and turns your car into a secure mobile hotspot, allowing multiple WiFi-enabled devices to connect, and giving passengers unparalleled access to data, music, games, chat, and anything else they might like to access in their second home–the car. Moreover, the device can easily be removed from the car and put into a small bag.

Thus, users can shuttle between the car and a residence, hotel or vacation spot, extending the usability of the Autonet Mobile Service beyond the car. For business travelers, families on vacation or couples on the go, bringing connectivity out of the car and into the hotel room is an additional benefit.

You can currently get every mobile lifestyle service in your car except WiFi – this may be the invention that bring the United States into true nationwide adoption of broadband. The portable service could potentially be used as a substitute in areas where high-speed internet connections are currently not available.
