    Hi

    Does anyone know what I would need to do the share the 3G Data Option cards over WLAN?

    Running on Windows XP. What additional equipment would I need and assuming 3G coverage, how would the bandwidth be like if were allowing 20 users to browse Internet?

    Thanks

    Bandwidth: From Vodafone: "The maximum downlink speed (receiving data) is 384 kilo bits per second (kbps). The maximum uplink speed (sending data) is 64 kilo bits per second (kbps)."

    So it's not going to be very useful for sharing with 20 users.

    Price
    Do you get the 3G for free?

    If not, this will work out horrendously expensive.

    For example, Vodafone charges 200euro for 500MB per month and 1500euro for 5GB (see http://www.vodafone.ie/soho/price/dataroaming/3ggprsplans/index.jsp )

    And these prices do not include VAT.
    Ouch!

    Thanks for the information.

    It is very useful

    3G wouldn't be free so probably won't be an option

    Just for information would you know what additional equipment would be needed in order to set this up?
