Verizon Wireless nudges into home phone, broadband biz  Meet the
Verizon 4G LTE Broadband Router with Voice, the wireless
carrier's attempt to replace your home phone and Internet
connection. But it's a niche target that will likely only appeal
to a few specific users.  Verizon Wireless on Wednesday
introduced a 4G LTE-powered router for the home, which could
potentially replace your ground phone and Internet connection --
as long as you're not a heavy user and an existing wireless
customer.  The router is made by Novatel Wireless.  (Credit:

with Voice is nothing if not straightforward, and does exactly
what its name implies. Rather than a home cable or DSL
connection, customers can use the LTE device to power their home
Wi-Fi network, which can connect 10 devices simultaneously. It
also includes a jack for a home phone and three Ethernet ports.
The router is part of Verizon Wireless's push to expand its
portfolio and utilize its 4G LTE network
