KR2 Saves the Day, Kind of

Life happens.  It’s unpredictable.  This is even more true in the world of technology.   Take the massive atom-smasher they’re building on the border of Switzerland and France, for example.  Called the LHC, or Large Hadron Collider, this particle accelerator is designed to smash protons down into even smaller particles, some of which could potentially create a microscopic black hole which would consume the earth.  No, seriously.  They’re actually being sued by physicists in Hawaii because they might destroy the world as we know it.

While slightly less disastrous, losing your Wi-Fi signal can still ruin your day.  Knowing this, companies are getting smarter.  Kyocera, for example, has recently released the KR2, the swiss-army knife of broadband routers.  Not only does the KR2 send out signal from an ethernet cable, it can also be connected to an EVDO or WAN network, and will automatically switch to the other if one fails.  Pumping out a beefy 802.11n signal, the KR2 is a great SOHO solution, taking the worry about losing your wireless signal out of your life.  Now you have more time to figure out what you’re going to do when strangelets reduce the world to a glowing lump of matter.
