O2 Starts Selling PrePay Mi-Fi Hotspot Device
Published on:
O2 UK has started selling a new pocket-sized device and tariff that will enable customers to get a "Wi-Fi hotspot in their pocket".
The 3G "mif-fi" unit enables up to five other devices to connect simultaneously, sharing mobile internet access.
The new device will come with two Pay & Go data options: a daily top-up and 1GB or 2GB bundles (both of which have a 30 day term).
Gary Booker, GM Consumer at O2 says of the launch: "We saw a big gap in the market for a Mobile Wifi package that offered lower start-up costs and competitive data."
"Customers have told us that they want access to the web on the go, but that they don't always want to sign up for year-long contracts or to buy lots of data from the outset. O2 Hotspot has been designed to cater for exactly those needs: lowering up-front costs and offering customers lots of options when it comes to the amount of data they buy - what they need, when they need it."
The O2 Pocket Hotspot offers 802.11b/g Wi-Fi connectivity and maximum download speeds of 21.6 Mbps and upload at 5.76 Mbps.
