A new mobile Wi-Fi device has been launched by T-Mobile. The new device is called the T-Mobile Wireless Pointer and acts a wireless hotspot so that devices such as smartphones, netbooks etc, can be connected to mobile broadband by sharing the Wi-Fi hotspot.
3, Orange and Vodafone have launched similar devices, the latest of these being Orange Mobile Wi-Fi.
The Wireless Pointer offers something more than other Wi-Fi modems. This is because the Wireless Pointer has a signal indicator which monitors the mobile broadband signal strength being received.
This is useful as you can adjust the position to achieve the best possible signal being received. The T-Mobile Wireless Pointer will be included for free when a 2 year mobile broadband contract is taken out. Pricing or the availability date is not yet known. The Wireless Pointer will be available on Pay As You Go for under £60.
