I want to connect a 3g or 4g modem to vocore and share internet. The main goal it's to put this in taxi, bus or stop bus. It's possible? Worth it? This already available a product to sell on aliexpress and similar.

Vocore dock has usb,

It's only software configuration problem i suppose.

Vocore have uart. With this you can communicate to sim900 module for example.

You can get a packaged tplink mini router to do this exact thing for quite cheap. They even have battery powered options now.
Put the VoCore to better use :)

Most devices will need to have a their usb mode switched, you can check what devices are supported by usb_modeswitch http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... erence.txt

Yeah! I bought a tplink mini router yesterday but it doesn't has battery. I'm gonna use in my home. I have not thought to use it in this situation because it is a already a "close product". I chose vocore because I can put all in "one case". To study how vocore works too ;)

Are you re-inventing a MyFi access point?

Hi! I just realize that it's the same. A friend show me MyFi some days ago. But I'm going to do it just to learn about. ;)
