BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - October 13, 2009) - Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (OTCBB: [ ZMTP ]) announced today the first volume shipments of the Zoom 3G Wireless-N Desk Router, Model 4501. Almost any 3G mobile broadband modem can be plugged into the router to instantly create a WiFi® compatible Hotspot for a wide range of devices including Windows® and Macintosh® computers, the iTouch(tm) and Blackberry®, mobile phones, barcode readers, and game stations. The desktop router is AC-powered and comes with a small power cube with a built-in switching power supply.

Model 4501 has an estimated U.S. retail of $79 and represents a significant new price point for 3G wireless-N routers.

The Desktop Router provides easy sharing of a 3G connection wherever a 3G mobile broadband modem works and there's AC power -- office, home, trade show, airport, hotel, or almost anywhere. The Desktop Router connects to the Internet through a plug-in 3G USB modem, and provides Internet access for up to 253 devices simultaneously through the Router's wireless n/g/b network or a wired Ethernet connection.

Zoom's Desktop Router even lets a user's WiFi compatible devices go where 3G signal strength is low. A user can put the Travel Router and 3G modem where 3G signal strength is high, and then connect to WiFi compatible devices through the router's extended-range wireless-N capability.

Model 4501 is compatible with almost every USB mobile broadband modem ever built. A modem compatibility list is at [ www.zoom.com/3Gdeskrouter/comp ].

Zoom's Desk Router can even be used as a router for ADSL and Cable modems, with automatic broadband backup if a 3G USB modem is plugged in. The Desk Router includes both WAN and LAN Ethernet ports, so it's easily connected to a broadband modem and a computer using Ethernet cables, with wireless connection to Wi-Fi compatible devices.
