AT&T’s Netgear mobile hotspot promises twice the speed of LTE

News

AT&T has just declared the 1st mobile hotspot router, the Netgear Nighthawk, that can connect with the telecommunication company’s “5G Evolution” network, that AT&T claims offers up to twice the speed of typical 4G LTE. The service is only available in parts of Austin and indianapolis, and previously only to Samsung S8 users. The Netgear router will price $50, and you will need to have a minimum of a $20 per month data plan to use it.

 

 

“5G” isn’t really a thing, yet, because the governing body that decides what specifically goes into every generation of wireless tech hasn’t come up with standards for the tech or its deployment yet. AT&T was outbid by Verizon for the actual 5G spectrum itself, too. AT&T’s 5G Evolution network, then, is faster LTE with some extras.

 

Still, Netgear’s new mobile hotspot can give higher speeds on more devices as a mobile Wi-Fi router, and while 5G Evolution is still restricted to 2 locations, there are a minimum of 3 more cities AT&T is looking to roll it out to, with a nationwide push in late 2018.
