Portable Hotspot

A portable hotspot is a portable wireless hub. It is a device that allows multiple users to connect to the internet through it. It is battery operated and (depending on the model) can run for approximately four hours. It utilizes an in built 3G router and from there it works like a regular router that you may have at home to share internet access to multiple users on a network. The main advantage of a portable hotspot is that it allows you to create a cloud network where ever you go. This could be ideal for businesses you have multiple employees that are constantly traveling together and all rely on a single 3G connection each to maintain connection to the internet.

Carriers that support this technology offer fairly competitive rates. For the capacity to connect five users to the internet at once it is very reasonably priced. You can use a prepaid form of payment plan in the event you are unlikely to need it full time – that is after you have bought the portable hotspot device. It is relatively easy to set up because it will automatically detect DNS and IP address settings and it supports UPnP technologies to ensure that your network is able to correctly route signals.

Portable hotspots are a blessing to the industry. You no longer have to rely on another Wi-Fi service like that you might find in a restaurant or cafe in order to remain connected to the internet as a group. You can set up your own network while you are in the field – or traveling in the event you are an internet savvy family. It also reduces the need for everyone to have their own connection when traveling as a group. It can be a great cost saver for businesses and families alike.
