Why is a mobile hotspot a better alternative to a smartphone as hotspot?

Superior User Experience

• With so many other so ware processes and applications running at all times, a smartphone may not always prioritize the WiFi antenna or WiFi radio connection. A mobile hotspot, on the other hand, is designed strictly for that purpose. The antennas, radios, throughput, and connection with the mobile network are all optimized for providing reliable, high-performance network connections to mobile devices.

Extend The Life Of Older 3G Devices

• If a customer bought a 3G tablet or smartphone a year ago, for example, they can move up to 4G data speeds using a 4G hotspot and a WiFi connection.

Spare Your Phone’s Battery

• Using a mobile hotspot means never draining your battery just to stay connected. A mobile hotspot screen requires far less power, and it is built with a larger battery than most smartphones. Mobile hotspots also can enter a sleep state to conserve energy when there is no activity—something a smartphone typically can’t do as e ectively, as it needs to maintain a network connection to accept incoming calls.

Better WiFi Range

• Mobile hotspots typically provide better range, allowing users to maintain a connection up to 45 metres in any direction, even as they move about.

Safeguard Your Personal And Conﬁ dential Data

• In a world where personal and conﬁ dential data is targeted by increasingly sophisticated threats, mobile hotspots can also o er some added peace of mind. A er all, when you share a WiFi connection with others by allowing them to connect to your smartphone, you are potentially exposing all the information on that device. A hotspot isn’t a gateway into your personal life— just a dedicated Internet connection.

Connect More Devices & People

• Most mobile phones on most networks support just a few connected devices. NETGEAR AirCard Mobile Hotspots can simultaneously connect as many as 15 WiFi devices such as your smartphone, tablet, and laptop while out and about.
