Create Your Own Personal Wireless Hotspot with a MiFi Modem
Internode have announced a MiFi product which lets users combine a 3G broadband modem with a wireless access point. The device is $349 per unit unlocked and with no contract requirement. This is a launch special. The standard price will be $399 with the option of $299 when bundled with a 24-month wireless broadband plan from Internode.
A Mi-Fi device is small and light, smaller than a pack of cards. It’s an easy way to create your own portable, wireless hotspot so that a 3G mobile broadband connection can be shared by up to devices such as laptops or smartphones. The devices connect by wi-fi up to a range of about 10 metres.
It can be useful in different situations. From a business perspective, up to 5 co-workers can be online with one 3G connection. Friends can share a connection in the same way which could be useful when travelling.
The technology isn’t new but these type of devices makes it easy with auto-install and auto-connect so the personal hotspot is available at the push of a button.
Virgin Mobile also offer a MiFi modem available from Dick Smith and Coles.
