Today we are looking at the new Netgear Around Town Mobile Internet device. This device works as a mobile hot spot, connecting to the Sprint mobile data network at up to 4G LTE speeds when available. That last part of the sentence is most important- when available. Do not expect this to work in the middle of the desert where there is no cell service. This does work via cell phone wireless data connections, so it uses those connections.
When a connection is present, the connection is strong and useful. NO matter if you are pushing through one last email, crunching some numbers while at the airport, or just those last few hits of your favorite game before going away. Whatever the reason, your connection can be as close as your pocket, and if it is a proverbial dead zone, chances are next time you try it you’ll have a strong connection for all your uses.
Some of the most common uses for the mobile hot spot is schooling- this opens up everywhere as a mobile study location. Work is always a few steps away as well, so that small business that always requires your attention is even easier to tend to. Vacations are also more fun as internet connectivity is only a button push away, giving you a connection even where most will not have it. It’s always nice to be able to post your photos to Instagram and Facebook.
Some key specs:
4G LTE networks speeds on the Sprint network
No Contract Required, no roaming
Removable Li-on battery
Up to 10 hours of continuous use
Up to 210 hours of standby
Connect up to 10 WiFi enabled devices

The Netgear Around Town Mobile Internet with 1 GB Free is available now at fine retailers everywhere for $199.99.
My Mom is currently thinking about getting something like this–I will have to tell her about this one-it sounds perfect for her.
This sounds like it would be perfect for homeschooling. The children use the net for some of their study programs. Perfect for Sprint users.
I’m going to tell my friend about this. She’s with Sprint and travels often. Thank you!
I wish I had one of those right now. It would be perfect for when I’m traveling this weekend.
