The Falcon has been optimized for use on T-Mobile’s 4G LTE network, which has recently been in the news for its dramatic connectivity improvements, and the little device is capable of keeping up to 10 devices connected over Wi-Fi at any one time. If your phone supports it, the Falcon will even allow Wi-Fi calls to be made as well.
While tethering computers to your phone is possible, it’s not only bad for the precious battery, but a laptop can also quickly eat through a data allowance. Using a hotspot minimizes that aspect, and saves your phone’s battery as well. Best of all, you don’t have to rely on public Wi-Fi for your connectivity fix.
ZTE last hit the hotspot news for its innovative Mobley in-car hotspot, that instead of running on its own power, connects to the OBDII port inside the vehicle. Before this, we checked out the multifunction Spro 2, which quickly became a firm favorite. It provides not only 4G LTE connectivity on the go, but also a 5-inch touchscreen, a device-charging 6300Ah battery, and a 200 lumens projector — all built into a single device. Very cool indeed.
If the Spro 2 does a little too much, and the Falcon’s simplicity appeals, then you’ll find it from February 12 both online and in some of T-Mobile’s retail stores for just $80.
