Here’s how it works: The T9 hotspot connects to the T-Mobile cellular network. While it can connect with 3G, 4G and 4G LTE networks, it can’t yet take advantage of the higher speeds offered by 5G should it be available in the area.
Once connected to the cellular network, the hotspot can provide an 802.11 b/g/n/ac connection for up to 15 devices, with each device connecting in the fastest way possible. The T9 comes packed with a powerful 2,450 mAh-rated battery that lasted more than seven hours in extreme testing. It can also stay charged for 48 hours in standby mode. It uses a micro-USB cable to recharge.
The T9 comes with Wi-Fi connection management tools so users can enable password protection or set up rules about who and what can connect to the device. In the field, it has a small OLED window that shows status icons for the device, such as cellular signal strength, number of devices connected and battery level. As a result, it’s very simple to manage and monitor.
