New Modem model to be released ?

I recently ran across this document describing a new modem model.

Would any Hughes employee care to provide any details as to release date, system platform it will be used on and so forth ?

    It also allows numerous devices to be connected to the same network and ISP modem either by wireless or cable.

    A Hughes modem only has a single LAN port so only a single computer can be connected.
    a router usually has 4 LAN ports allowing 4 computers to be connected by wire and most routers have a wireless portion that allows devices such as laptops and tablets to connect over a encrypted short range wireless network.

    More detailed and helpful as usual. Nobody likes a smarty pants.  :)

    Alana, do you have router police where you live? I guess you might have been joking about not being allowed to have one.
