AT & T offers pan-wireless connector for laptops

June 4, 2008 By Brian Santo

AT&T is offering an application for laptops that allows the computers to connect to the nearest AT&T wireless access point.

Access could be through AT&T’s cellular network (3G or EDGE ), an AT&T public Wi-Fi hotspot, or a home Wi-Fi router connected to an AT&T wireline broadband service. AT&T is positioning the application, called Net Reach, as one that combines wireless and wireline services.

Net Reach detects the strongest available signal from nearby AT&T access points and automatically connects through it.

Net Reach, a version of AT&T’s Communication Manager software, now comes installed on AT&T’s USB-based wireless connector for laptops (the USBConnect 881), or it can be downloaded for free from the company’s Web site.

AT&T Net Reach plans start at $79.95 per month. Customers must also opt to combine their wireless and wireline services onto one billing statement.
