ZTE announced earlier today that it will launch its brand new Falcon 4G Mobile Hotspot on T-Mobile starting Friday, February 12. While the market for dedicated Mobile Hotspot’s is declining as a result of every Android smartphone having the feature on board, there are some people who need to connect multiple devices when they’re on the road — so they plumb for a standalone LTE tethering unit.
The Falcon’s optimal attraction is by far its ability to pair with up to ten devices simultaneously, whilst providing equal Internet speeds to each of them. Its 2,000mAh rechargeable non-removable battery will also see you through a good 4-to-5 hours worth of constant use, while a standard mid-range smartphone would only provide around 3-hours worth of LTE tethering before dropping down to the 25% battery mark.
“We understand consumers are always on the go. From the comfort of their own home to the office to activities outside, the need for reliable, secure WiFi access never changes,” writes Lixin Cheng, chairman and CEO of ZTE USA.
As previously mentioned, the Falcon will be up for grabs on February 12th exclusively from T-Mobile. It will be listed on the carrier’s online portal, in addition to being stocked in a variety of its nationwide bricks-and-mortar stores. The little square box carries a price tag of $79.99 and requires a T-Mobile hotspot plan to function. 2GB of super-fast 4G data will set you back $20/mo, while 18GB will cost you $80/mo.
