Verizon has updated its mobile hotspot range, adding the Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE MiFi 5510L to its line-up of high-speed mobile data options. The new MiFi, made by Novatel Wireless, will go on sale from Thursday, January 31 through Verizon’s online store priced at $19.99 following a $50 mail-in rebate and assuming a new, two-year data plan agreement.
According to Novatel, the MiFi 5510L will share its 4G connection with up to ten WiFi-tethered devices simultaneously. There’s also VPN support, including VPN Pass-through for enterprise users, and SPI Firewall.
On the front there’s a display and touch-sensitive keys, and Novatel has added in real-time data use tracking so that subscribers can see exactly how much of their LTE allowance they’re chewing through. That’s particularly useful since the new Jetpack can be used with a Share Everything Plan, tapping into some of your overall data bundle pot.
The 5510L is the latest in a line of Verizon/Novatel Jetpack-branded models, most recently the 890L of mid-2012. Whereas that MiFi version promised up to six hours of active runtime on a single charge, the new Jetpack delivers up to eight hours of continuous use, so Novatel claims.
