The UK’s disruptive mobile operator, 3 UK, has unveiled plans to bring a mobile hotspot device to the country later this month via The Carphone Warehouse and Retail stores.
The Mobile wifi device, known as ‘MiFi’, is not the same MiFi unit that is manufactured by US firm Novatel Wireless as telecoms.com originally reported. 3’s ‘MiFi’, which we shall now refer to as Mobile Wifi, is a branded Huawei E5830 wireless modem that does a very similar job to the Novatel device.
The unit is a pocket sized box that runs off batteries or mains and can connect a handful of wifi powered devices with a cellular backhaul connection (HSPA in this case) – a sort of 3G dongle on steroids.
Prices are TBC, But i see its as a great investment as it can be used as a shared connection with upto 5 devices.
Uses...
1. Taxi/limo drivers - To offer free wifi to clients
2. Students - to share the connection and cost of an effective mobile connection
3. iPod touch owners - mobile connection to browse the net and use SKYPE!
4. mobile games - iPod touch, PSP & Nintendo DS
5. Reps - the perfect way to showcase your new wireless products
