There are probably still a LOT of RVers who are using older PCMCIA mobile broadband cards like the KPC650, AirCard 595 or even the PX500/PC5750.
Up until now, there has not been a Cradlepoint-branded router that would allow you to share the internet access those cards provide, with multiple computers.
Sure, the Kyocera KR2 was made by Cradlepoint but Kyocera has decided to abandon that router and will no longer update it for any new devices.
Today, the new Cradlepoint MBR1200 has been launched and it features a few advantages over the MBR1000:
-- PCMCIA slot for older cards.
-- gigabit ethernet switch (allows for faster local area network transfers like movies)
-- external WiFi jacks to allow for greater wireless range to/from the router
For those RVers who already HAVE an MBR1000, there is not likely enough reason to consider the new MBR1200.
But for those who have yet to buy a cellular router, the MBR1200 now represents the "state of the art" and offers the most versatility.
