Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Preview

TripMate Nano is a versatile device that may be tiny but is jammed packed with features. The
HooToo TripMate Nano creates a personal hotspot for sharing your existing USB storage device, and
can act as a portable wireless network router by turning a wired connection into a wireless one.
Weighing a tiny 1 ounce, the TripMate Nano saves in size but not in convenience.

1.2 Features

1.2.1 Personal Cloud

Create your own wireless network to transfer and share media with Wi-Fi enabled devices. Stream
your videos and songs from USB storage devices and share with friends!

1.2.2 Travel Router

Turns an existing network into a handy, secure, local hotspot which can be shared by up to 50
different devices!

1.2.3 Powered by USB for extreme portability

The TripMate Nano is USB-powered to ensure convenient internet access anywhere. Because of its
size, you can bring your Nano everywhere you go and never get weighed down. (Please use 5V/1A
power adapter.)
