Huawei E583X MiFi-rival;coming July
Filed Under (Wi-Fi Product) by robin on June-27-2009


We first heard about Huawei’s E583X wireless modem back in February, and now the company has been showing it off at CommunicAsia in Singapore.  A MiFi rival, the E583X – also known as the i-Mo – packs an HSPA modem and WiFi router into a palm-sized battery powered box.

Runtime is tipped at up to 5hrs, after which the E583X recharges from a USB port.  You can also leave it plugged in and use it as a standard USB modem, though only with that one computer.  As with the MiFi it supports up to five simultaneous WiFi connections and has a microSD card slot, though the Huawei apparently only supports microSD access via direct USB connection, not by any WiFi client as on the MiFi.


Still, it looks to be a little smaller than the MiFi, which may sway some users who are short on space.  We’d say this one will come down to which carriers offer the Huawei and which plump for the Novatel rival; the E583X is set to land in Europe come July, though there’s no word on which networks have signed up.


The E583X does it differently because it’s able to send out a Wi-Fi signal that you connect to wirelessly (like at a hot spot) from your notebook. This means you can leave the device out of sight and not have something dangling from your slim, fashionable Netbook. A 1,500mAh battery powers the device, giving about five hours of wireless productivity. It charges via USB, and if you prefer, you can also use it plugged in to your notebook like regular HSDPA modems.


Now, freeing up a single USB port may not seem like a fantastic reason to pick this product over a regular USB modem. What’s more, your notebook will probably consume more battery power with Wi-Fi turned on. But variations of this product will allow up to five users running a single cellular connection, perfect for situations when others around you need to share your Internet access.


Like all of Huawei’s products, this one will be sold through mobile operators. It will first appear in Europe come July. Below is a quick hands-on video of the E583X.

I just have started to use this smarter modem. Huawei E583X modem supports plug-and-play and data transmission speeds up to 7.2 Mbps downlink and 5.76 Mbps uplink. It has 1,500mAh battery, giving it five hours of independent living, and in emergencies it can act as a tethered modem as well. Just switch it on, drop it into your bag or pocket and access it from your laptop like a standard WiFi hotspot. All these features have been integrated into the smallest wireless modem in the world.

A wi-fi product which consists battery life of more than 5 hours is simply amazing. generally no other wifi device are able to do that and that way it is better than others in this range.

This seems to me a master piece as it looks stylish and trendy compared to other wifi modules available in the market. Looking at its performance it seems competitive with other others.

E583X Huawei excrete anything that disturbs the acquisition of a 3G wireless signal and he beamed again as WiFi, which means you can leave it in your pocket and get a double dose of microwaves. According to me It’s set to light up Europe next month.
