With the popularity of WiFi technology, mobile hotspots have emerged. In today's society, WiFi has become a necessity for people. On August 31, 2022, the "Statistical Report on the Development of China's Internet" pointed out that the size of China's Internet users has reached 1.051 billion, and the Internet penetration rate reached 74.4%. The Internet has been used on a large scale in China, with a variety of smart devices popping up, and network access has become a necessary requirement for almost everyone's daily work life, and WiFi is precisely one of the most common access methods. Whether it is cell phones, tablets, laptops, or various types of smart homes, all support access to the network through WiFi. Most of the WiFi signals in daily life are converted from wired networks through home routers, APs and other devices, which are fixed in a specific place and cannot be moved. Our cell phones and tablets are portable devices that need to be carried around with us, especially some smart devices that only support WiFi access, and once they enter an environment without WiFi signal, they will fall into the dilemma of not being able to access to the network. Many mifi device manufacturer have produced some useful portable WiFi, or we can say, mobile hotspot.
What we usually refer to as “mobile hotspot” refers to the built-in hotspot function of the phone, which is different from the portable WiFi. The main differences between the two are as follows:
1. Different positioning
“Mobile hotspot” is just an additional feature of mobile phones, often used during meetings and office hours when laptops and people around them need to use the internet in an emergency while portable WiFi is designed to meet the needs of daily internet access, work and entertainment in irregular places;
2. Flow loss
During the process of converting “mobile hotspot” to wireless WIFI signal, the mobile application itself needs to consume traffic, which leads to some traffic being wasted and lost; Portable WiFi is designed to provide wireless connectivity to external devices, and the traffic loss generated during the conversion of wireless WIFI signals can be almost negligible.
3. Endurance
“Mobile hotspots” consume power while providing WiFi, just like with Bluetooth on. Even if you don't play with your phone, as long as other devices are connected, it will increase power loss. Therefore, “mobile hotspots” cannot provide WiFi supply for a long time. Charging while using can also damage the battery life of mobile phones; The portable WiFi can provide WIFI signal as long as it is plugged into the power supply, and can be directly plugged into the power bank for use. The battery loss is relatively small, and most power banks can meet the range of 1-2 days.
4. Traffic expenses
When a “mobile hotspot” is connected to other devices, it consumes the traffic of the mobile plan; The portable WIFI uses an exclusive traffic card or package, which allows for more traffic at a lower cost.
5. Different internet speed
Because “mobile hotspot” is only an auxiliary function, the network is not stable when used as a hotspot, and the network signal may weaken. This is why people who connect to WIFI on their own mobile phones may feel that the internet speed is slow.
The portable WiFi itself is designed as a mobile hotspot, using technology and accessory materials to enhance signals and stabilize data reception. Moreover, the security and encryption level of WiFi transmission is higher than that of mobile hotspot. So the 4G signal network speed is also faster and safer. Therefore, portable WiFi is preferred by more and more people.
There are roughly three types of portable WiFi on the market:
1. Card insertion single network portable WiFi: This type of portable WiFi generally requires the purchase of an IoT card (which can be understood as a pure traffic card) in addition to the device. However, this type of WiFi is generally single network and can only use the network of a certain operator. Therefore, the quality of the portable WiFi signal depends on the signal of the local operator.
2. Card free three network access portable WiFi: This type of portable WiFi is relatively lightweight in design and has the function of switching between three networks. It can select the optimal network channel based on the signal strength of the operator, making the network speed faster. The disadvantage is that it needs to be able to work with power, otherwise it cannot work.
3. Battery free card free three network connected portable WiFi: This type of portable WiFi does not require a separate power supply to be powered on, and can be connected to WiFi as long as it is turned on. Not only that, it can also be used as a power bank, providing more convenient WiFi services for business travelers.
The current market of portable WiFi is complex. In order to choose a reliable portable WiFi, choosing a reliable brand has become a vital step. A good brand can protect the rights and interests of users, so choosing a reliable brand is the greatest protection of their own interests.
