PosiMotion G-Fi and G-F VS Routers [GPS and Wi-Fi Hubs]

PosiMotion launched two networking devices at the CES – the G-Fi and G-F VS. The G-Fi is essentially a router that unusually does not offer internet connectivity; instead it captures satellite signals and passes on GPS signals to any connected Wi-Fi device in the vicinity.

The G-Fi enables the creation of a wireless LAN consisting of up to 254 computers and devices. The G-Fi also serves as a neat tracking device. With a range of 100 feet, it is of use in tracking your child in a crowded place or your car in a crowded parking lot.

The G-Fi has the following dimensions – 3.08″ x 2.91″ 0.69″. It weighs around 2.5 ounces and its portability makes it ideal for travelers who wish to track their location via their Wi-Fi enabled devices. A single charge keeps the device operational for up to 4 hours. An adapter is included with the device; the G-Fi can also be charged via a computer’s USB port. The G-Fi is available for $179.

The G-F VS is similar to the G-Fi except that it does not feature GPS. It acts as a wireless router ideal for mobile gamers. The company is pitching the G-F VS as a Wi-Fi gaming hub for iPhone gamers. The G-F VS is available for $149.
