Did you know that the towers that provide you with cellular phone reception also provide you with wireless Internet? Well Novatel did, and used such knowledge to create mobile WiFi hotspot routers. These completely portable, pocket-sized routers interpret cellular signals and use them to create your own personal WiFi hotspot.
So long as you can receive cell phone reception and are on a mobile Internet price plan, these portable WiFi hotspots can beam out broadband signals to up to 5 other devices, allowing you to create your own mini Internet network. Whether you want to surf the net on your cell phone, laptop, camera, tablet, or anything else, all Internet devices, when within 30 feet of the MiFi router, are able to connect and experience luxuriously fast Internet speed.
The MiFi routers do not give you free Internet, however they will not add to the cost of your current mobile Internet price plan. The MiFi router utilizes the very same data that SIM cards in cell phones do. Therefore, you need to insert your phone’s SIM card in order for them to operate; just slip it in and you’re ready to connect. This also stops you from having to pay additional Internet fees. MiFi connects to the Internet in the same way a Smartphone would, only much, much quicker and with the ability to broadcast WiFi to other devices.
Different networks operate in different ways, and Novatel have taken this into full consideration by offering different routers for Smartphone’s with different providers. Networks requiring SIM cards, such as T-Mobile and AT&T are compatible with the MiFi 2352 and MiFi 2372 models. All you need to do is transfer your SIM into the router and you’re ready to go. For networks that do not require SIM cards, such as Sprint and Verizon, the Unlocked MiFi 2200 is available to accommodate this. A Verizon MiFi 2200 router is available exclusively to the Verizon network. These MIFI models use their own data plans instead of SIM card data.
These routers are particularly appropriate for those who travel often and spend time in places where fast Internet is not always readily available, such as on public transport and in airports and hotel rooms.
Further explanations, specifications and types of MiFi routers can be found on the Quantum Wireless website, along with live online assistance for any questions you may have.
