Why a Mobile Hotspot is the Perfect Travel Gift
The best mobile hotspot devices offer next-level wireless internet anywhere, anytime. Cell phones don’t have the battery power or capacity to handle the high-speed and bandwidth demands of today’s users, while public WiFi in hotels, airports, and cafes comes with serious concerns about security vulnerabilities.
NETGEAR Nighthawk mobile hotspots can be unlocked in over 125 countries worldwide. A mobile hotspot is small enough to fit in a pocket or purse, yet powerful enough to connect online from wherever your travels take you. Mobile WiFi hotspots are ideal for navigation, entertainment, communication, remote work, and even as your primary or backup home internet plan.
Benefits of carrying a personal hotspot include:
- Flexibility – Internet access locally, nationally, and internationally.
- Speed – High-speed connections for video streams, conferencing, gaming, and more.
- Safety – Robust security with encryption to protect personal data.
- Reliability – Unbeatable internet performance when away from home.
- Multi-Device Support – Connect with multiple network devices concurrently.
