TUSTIN, CA, Jun 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Tekkeon has unveiled TekCharge(TM) MP2250, a new compact battery that
provides six to eight hours of runtime for CradlePoint portable 3G and 4G
mobile broadband routers when no power outlet is available. By combining
Tekkeon's new rechargeable lithium polymer battery with any of several
3G/4G routers manufactured by CradlePoint, users can power a secure WiFi
hotspot for hours.
TekCharge MP2250 includes an adapter tip to connect directly to a
CradlePoint portable router, and brackets to mount the battery to
CradlePoint portable routers CBA250, CTR350, CTR500, and PHS300.
"With the growing popularity of CradlePoint travel routers, TekCharge
MP2250 is the ideal customized mobile power solution that enables router
users to power a secure portable hotspot for hours longer," says Jerry
Yang, president of Tekkeon, Inc. "Like its big brother myPower ALL
MP3450i, this battery is actively endorsed by CradlePoint for its portable
mobile broadband routers."
"CradlePoint's routers are meant to be mobile. However, in some instances
access to power is limited. The Tekkeon TekCharge MP2250 provides battery
power when none is available and extends the run time of our products that
have a battery. This gives our customers a great deal of flexibility
implementing our routers. It's a solid solution," said Steve Wood, VP
Hardware Engineering, CradlePoint.
Tekkeon's battery solutions for portable power needs enable flexibility
and extended operation of phones, laptops, portable media players, and
many other devices. In addition to extending the run time on CradlePoint
routers, TekCharge MP2250 provides additional run time for many 5V
devices,
including:
Bluetooth Headsets 122 hours of talk time
Mobile Phones 29 hours of talk time
MP3 Players 70 hours of audio
PDAs 10 hours
Portable Media Players 14 hours
Like all Tekkeon batteries, TekCharge MP2250 is lightweight and uses
visual indicators to identify the exact power level.
The MSRP for TekCharge MP2250 is $99.95. The battery comes with a one-year
limited warranty and is available through 3GStore.com, and at the Tekkeon
Store at www.tekkeon.com. Additional adapter tips for 5V devices are
available at the Tekkeon Store.
