Mobile WiFi- Explained!

Create a Wireless Hotspot On The Go

Mobile WiFi is a new way of enjoying mobile broadband on the move. Unlike ’traditional’ mobile broadband deals which connect your laptop to the mobile internet via a dongle plugged into their USB port, mobile WiFi deals still connect to the internet over 3G mobile phone networks but actually create a local WiFi network based on this connection which you connect to via your WiFi enabled device. This means of course that you can still use mobile WiFi to access mobile broadband on your laptop (and you don’t need to install any software this way) but you can also connect multiple devices at the same time - for example a portable media player like an iPod touch, a tablet PC like an iPad or even a WiFi enabled mobile phone if you’d rather use your mobile broadband for data access on your phone.

Award Winning Technology

Mobile Wifi has been attracting a lot of attention lately, particular since the launch of Apple's popular iPad. The Three MiFi device won the prestigious ’best iPad accessory’ at the 2010 MacWorld awards and mobile WiFi has been featured in the media a lot lately as a way to save money and enjoy maximum convenience when accessing the Internet on the move. When you look at the good value of some of the mobile WiFi deals above and consider the fact that devices like the WiFi iPad typically cost considerable less than their 3G counterparts you can start to get a feel for why mobile WiFi is being paid so much attention.

Coverage, Speed and Data Usage

Mobile WiFi accesses the Internet in exactly the same way that mobile broadband dongles do and you can expect to see the same broadband speeds, dependent on 3G coverage. As when taking out any mobile broadband deal you should consider how much data you need in your package, which network gives the best coverage where you are likely to be and how much you are willing to pay for your mobile broadband access. If you aren’t sure about any of these aspects, check out our mobile broadband guides for more information.
