MIFI: Before You Spend Out A Lot Of Money


(credit: novatelwireless)
MiFi is a line of compact wireless routers produced by Novatel Wireless that act as mobile Wi-Fi hotspots. The MiFi can be connected to a mobile phone (cellular) carrier and provide internet access for up to 5 devices.
The MiFi works at a distance up to 10m or 30 ft and will provide internet or network access to any WiFi enabled peripheral device.


The first MiFi device was introduced in the U.S. in May 2009 by Novatel Wireless,and Novatel owns a registered trademark on the "MiFi" brand name in the U.S. The Novatel MiFi is also marketed as such in the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovenia, Qatar, Kuwait, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, South Africa, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Mexico. However, in the United Kingdom, mobile operator 3 owns the "MiFi" trademark and markets a similar device from Huawei under the name.

Why you spend out a lot of money for this gadget? Another options, perhaps more cheaper:
MIFI = netbook/netbook + usb 3G modem + win 7 + conectify (easy)
MIFI = netbook/netbook + usb 3G modem + win 7 + wireless access point/router (easy)
MIFI = netbook/netbook + usb 3G modem + ubuntu (medium)
