Network solutions provider Edimax has just announced the 3G-6210n, a wireless 3G router that bears the distinction of being the world’s first to run on battery power. The compact device allows users to share a 3G/ 3.5G broadband connection between multiple devices via an 802.11 b/g/n Wi-fi connection.

The 3G-6210n also features a USB port for plugging in a 3G modem (or a 3G phone) and offers 64/128-bit WEP encryption, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK for security. The package also comes with a DC power adapter, but is unique for its rechargeable built-in 1880mAh battery that allows multiple users to share a connection without having to be tied down to a wall socket.

The 3G router has been announced in Australia, but should be available in other markets in early 2010.
