A small connection kit
As some mobile service providers starts releasing
more and more budget 3G data packs, using them at home or office becomes more
popular. A 3G modem is apparently a key, Xyfi of Belgian company, Option, is now
available at your local.
Regarding sizes, Xyfi is much smaller than
common hotspot modems. It’s just bigger than a USB flash. In fact, Option
described it as the world’s smallest personal hotspot because it doesn’t own battery;
instead it works on USB electrical outlet (for example, PC or your custom
battery pack).
For this small 802.11n router, you can link
with 8 devices simultaneously. Plus, Option claimed the maximum speed was 72Mps,
depending on your network provider.
