MiFi – 3G Converted to WiFi

We often talk about 3G and the reasons why its important. One of the common need is for small groups to work together while on the move or in places where they don’t have broadband or WiFi hot spots. Wireless internet access of your own is what you need. MiFi is a pocket-sized router/modem made by Novatel Wireless that converts a 3G signal to Wi-Fi.

This allows Wi-Fi devices within 30 square feet to link to the internet, provided it has the MiFi’s network access code. Capable of supporting as many as five connections, the MiFi can be a bridge for all those with multiple Wi-Fi accounts, mobile broadband accounts and devices to be connected to the internet at the same time.

MiFi costs $100 from Verizon Wireless and Sprint, and the monthly service plan is similar to what you would get from a 3G plan: 250 MB for about $40 (some 3G plans offer only 50 MB for that price), or 5 GB for about $60. It offers about five hours of full internet use, and 40 hours on standby before needing a recharge.
