The Second Generation of MiFi Mobile Hotspots – on the 4th Generation of Mobile Networks.

What does the MiFi 4G Family of Hotspot Offer Today's Mobile Users?

The Novatel MiFi 4G mobile hotspot - Much hype has been touted for this latest piece of wireless internet technology, which allows one to take their broadband connection anywhere through a small, sleek device. It’s christened as an “Intelligent Mobile Hotspot,” and tech-heads are already drooling over what this piece of technology could offer.

However, many people have voiced their concerns on whether this device can actually live up to the hype. Past devices, notably the earlier generation of MiFi 3G mobile hotspots  have failed to make a splash where it matters most – in download and upload speeds. Seriously, being portable and cool-looking is nice, but the functionality has to be there. That’s the whole point of developing new technology – it’s not for aesthetic purposes. When others have promised connections to rival stable Wi-Fi connections, they barely make it to that speed, and only do so in the most optimal of conditions.

The Novatel MiFi 4G holds promise that with this device, one can reach the full maximum reported speed of the 4G networks, sometime as high as 25 Mbps. Now, that’s a big promise to make, especially considering that only the most advanced technologies are able to reach this speed at present. Most deemed this promise as hard to fulfill, considering that the device is portable. However, Novatel MiFi 4G has come through with their promise. Actually, not only that – they have exceeded expectations and have even broken new grounds in internet speed.

It’s really surprising that a device as small as a credit card can actually enable 4G speed for up to 5 connected devices, for up to 4 hours of constant use. With huge number of MiFi 4G owners reporting sustained download speeds of 10 to 15 Mbps (Verizon 4G LTE), and uploads as fast as 8 Mbps  you’ll have all the speed you want with the new family of MiFi 4G mobile hotspots.

While most of the credit must go to Verizon for the mind-boggling performance, Novatel engineered a mobile hotspot that can properly put that speed to use across 5 connections. It’s like having 100 PSI water pressure coming into your house – you expect to have an fast and enjoyable shower experience. But if your shower has head is clogged, you’re not going to ever tap that potential – and you’ll probably never even realize it. That’s how a poorly engineered mobile hotspot can affect its owner.

Downloading that show you missed last week or uploading the pictures you took a few minutes ago would finish almost instantaneously with Novatel MiFi 4G. This not only saves you time, but it also frees you up for more personal and professional opportunities.

Any device made in the past 10 years with Wi-Fi capabilities can hook up to the MiFi 4G Mobile Hotspot, this makes it even more powerful. Have a Verzion iPhone 4 and wish it worked on the ultra fast LTE network? No problem - with the MiFi 4510L, perhaps the fasted mobile hotspot ever, the iPhone can pipe it’s Wi-Fi through the 4510L for speed up to 10 times greater than the stock iPhone 4.

iPhones, mobile phones, laptops, multimedia players, gaming devices – they all can take advantage of these respectable speeds, resulting in better user experiences and new possibilities for all of these devices that are attaching to the MiFi 3G.

What does this mean for future broadband connections? It means that the envelope is pushed even further. To top the maximum speed, with a portable device at that, just goes to show that almost anything is possible with the level of technology available to us right now. Given a few years, it’s not difficult to see how this new maximum speed would still be standing.

It would probably have already been shattered, maybe even more than once. However, for now, enjoy the new MiFi 4G Mobile Hotspot.
