The Huawei MiFi is a very small and usefull device. The Huawei MiFi transforms a mobile data connection
into a WiFi network. You place the SIM card inside the Huawei MiFi, then you turn it on and the MiFi
creates a WiFi network. Now you can connect with a tablet, laptop or smartphone to the WiFi network
and enjoy an internet connection. The Huawei MiFi supports up to a maximum of 10 devices
simultaneously. You can not only provide for yourself with WiFi but also your friends and family. You
easily connect to the wireless signal of the Huawei MiFi, next you can direcly enjoy the internet
connection.
After turning on the Huawei MiFi it takes about 30 seconds for it to connect to the internet. The 3G or 4G
connection is very stable, stronger than with a mobile phone. The WiFi has an effective range of 7
meters. Through the use of the icons on the Huawei MiFi you are able to read the status of the device.
At the moment we offer 2 MiFi devices:
•Huawei E5330 3G Mifi (suitable for Europe and several countries outside of Europe)
•Huawei E5377 4G Mifi (suitable for worldwide use)
