Vodafone to launch MiFi – but not in the UK?
Mifi the mobile broadband modem with built in wireless router will launch with Vodafone. Two weeks ago 3 announced it will launch MiFi and Vodafone has quickly followed suit.
However the rumours suggest that Vodafone UK hasn’t confirmed it will launch the MiFi modem with only Germany, Spain and Romania confirmed to date. Fear not. A quick scout of the Vodafone website finds the MiFi support pages are live on the Vodafone business website. This suggests it will launch in the UK and I expect it to be available to consumers too.
For those of you who haven’t heard of the MiFi it’s a ‘personal mobile broadband hostpot’ device that allows you to share your mobile broadband connection with up to five other WiFi devices.
For businesses it’s a great way to share one connection between a team of people who are working off-site. For families you can share one connection between a couple of laptops, a Nintendo DS and an iPod Touch. Perfect for an extended stay at Grandma’s house!
