So the plan, when we’re not within WiFi range, is provide Internet access to Coworkout participants that don’t have their own cellular data card with one of these — a Verizon V740 EvDO card: …plugged into one of these — a Kyocera KR-2 EvDO to WiFi router: …with the actual internet connectivity provided on a [...]
