Netgear Unveils $499.99 5G Hotspot with eSIM Marketplace Access
In a bid to provide consumers with more flexibility and convenience, Netgear has announced its latest mobile hotspot, the Nighthawk 5G M7, which is set to hit the market in January. This new device comes unlocked for a competitive price of $499.99, making it an attractive alternative to the premium M6 Pro hotspot.
The M7 boasts cutting-edge features such as Wi-Fi 7 with speeds reaching up to 3.6Gbps and support for up to 32 connected devices, which can also be wired via USB-C or Ethernet adapter. Furthermore, it comes equipped with a firewall, WPA3 encryption, automatic firmware updates, and Netgear's Advanced Router Protection, which enables live security patches and detection of attacks on your router.
One of the most significant upgrades of the M7 is its eSIM marketplace, offering access to local data plans for over 140 countries. This feature allows users to purchase and activate local SIM cards from within the Netgear app, providing a convenient solution for travelers who frequently roam internationally. Data plans in the marketplace range from 3GB to 20GB, with real-time usage tracking available through the app.
The M7 also offers up to 10 hours of continuous connectivity per charge and can function as a power bank. While its battery life is slightly shorter than that of the M7 Pro (13 hours), it should still provide sufficient time to recharge in case of an emergency.
Netgear's latest offering positions itself as a more affordable alternative to premium mobile hotspots, making it an attractive option for consumers seeking flexibility and convenience when staying connected on-the-go.
