We live in a technically savvy era where wireless high-speed internet access through a portable modem, telephone or other device is readily available at our fingertips.
This modern technology allows us to connect to the internet anytime and virtually anywhere.
The telecommunications market offers a wealth of mobile broadband devices for customers seeking around-the-clock access to the World Wide Web – all through a single mobile network
It can be difficult to understand the different mobile broadband internet solutions available in the marketplace today, this article aims to inform about the available technologies, and the relative advantages and disadvantages of each.
Mobile phones
Most mobile phones have mobile broadband technology integrated into them. Smartphones (iPhone, BlackBerry and HTC) offer advanced computer abilities and connectivity with access to specialised features. Known as “tethering”, some smartphones can be connected to laptops and computers and effectively used as a modem, using the mobile network signal to access the internet. An ideal solution for those looking to combine their phone and internet technology, however this is not suggested for heavy users, as data costs are significantly higher on mobile phones.
USB Modems
A USB modem is a device that is plugged into your laptop, desktop or MAC connecting you to the internet over a USB port. The device is only active when the computer is switched on and the internet function activated. An ideal solution for a single user, this provides internet access when you need it.
Wireless Modems
These devices connect to a wireless network instead of a telephone system. When in use you can connect directly to your internet service provider which will in turn give you access to the internet. Perfect for those wanting wireless internet in the home or work place.
Pocket WiFi
Pocket WiFi is a 3g modem that is portable offering a portable wireless hotspot. The device is small in size which enables it to fit in pockets or bags. This device enables users to get on the net wherever they go. A perfect solution for those whom are constantly on the go.
Tablets
Tablets are compact touch screen devices that allow users to stay connected to the web while on the move. They offer the facility to surf the web away from home, have access to hundreds of thousands of applications (such as Google Earth), the facility to watch movies, take photos, play games and, in some cases, to make and receive calls. An ideal solution for those wanting something a little more advanced with a larger screen than a mobile phone.
After you have chosen your mobile broadband device you will need to choose a mobile broadband plan. Mobile broadband plans can be tailored to month to month use, prepaid services or annual contracts.
