Beyond portability and great data on the beach, mobile hotspots have some other advantages, say the experts at Hot Spot Wizard.
Remote work is the future, but if you're working on the go, you need to know that you've got a reliable internet connection.
A mobile hotspot can offer huge advantages - and more and more digital nomads are discovering them, says Hot Spot Wizard.
Originally buoyed by the pandemic, businesses are starting to see the advantages of remote teams - and a recent Pew Research Center report found that 22 million adults now work from home all the time.
Research also shows that more people are relying on public WiFi to help with their work. According to recent data from HighSpeedInternet.com, 47% of people use public WiFi on a regular basis - but opting for mobile hotspots might just be the better choice over public WiFi networks.
One notable factor is the superior speed and reliability offered by 5G technology, which can reach speeds much faster than the WiFi found in cafes, libraries, and other public spaces.
A Hot Spot Wizard representative states: "The advantage of 5G lies in its incredibly fast internet speeds and low latency. With 5G, you have lightning-fast connectivity, enabling seamless video conferencing, file sharing, and other bandwidth-intensive tasks - but it’s important to consider the limitations of coverage, as it may not be widely available in all areas."
Its huge cost-saving potential is another main attraction of hotspot-based connectivity. By tethering a mobile hotspot, you can potentially avoid the need to purchase a separate internet package for your home, allowing you to adjust your internet access to match your specific needs and budget.
Mobile hotspots can be set up with a specific router, or through smartphones, which enable multiple devices to connect simultaneously. Hot Spot Wizard explains that, with access to stable, high-speed internet anywhere with cellular coverage, you can work from virtually any location, without relying on random cafes or restaurants for shoddy, unsafe internet access.
However, unlike with a standard broadband or fiber package, it's important to manage data plans when using mobile hotspots - just so you can avoid unexpected fees and maintain connectivity whenever you need it.
