The fastest route to connecting

EVERYTHING’S connected these days, and if you need to get as many as eight different devices hooked up to your LTE 4G connection, the True 4G Pocket Wi-Fi router is the portable answer.
The Pocket is good for 4G connections at bandwidth of 1,800MHz and 2,100MHz, both of which are available from TrueMove H. It also supports 3G connections at 850Mhz and 2,100MHz.
Once linked to a 4G network, the router provides an amazingly fast download speed of 150 megabytes per second and uploads at 50Mbps. (Speed measurements vary depending on location, the number of cell sites in use and which servers are used.)
Of course you can share your smartphone’s Internet connection with other devices, but having a separate Wi-Fi router ends worries about draining your phone battery. The Pocket has a rechargeable 3,000mAh battery that lasts 11 hours.
The rear cover opens so you can change the battery and insert a micro SIM. If your 4G SIM is the “nano” type, you need a SIM adapter for it.
The Wi-Fi password and Wi-Fi hotspot name (SSID) are printed inside the back cover. Once you’re connected using the provided password, you can go online to change both of these to something more personally meaningful.
You make connections using the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Set-up) function, activated by a button on the router. Press the WPS button on the device you’re connecting and then the one on the router and it happens without the need to enter a password.
The mobile router also has a power button for saving battery life when not in use. There’s a micro USB port for recharging the battery, and you get a wall charge adapter and USB cable for this purpose.
A microSD slot, meanwhile, lets you share the card’s storage with the connected devices, up to 32 gigabytes.
I tested the Pocket with a TrueMove H 4G SIM. Using the Ookla speed-test app, I measured downloads at 41.27Mbps and uploads at 30.68Mbps.
The True 4G Pocket Wi-Fi is available at the TrueMart online shop (www.WeMall.com) for Bt1,990, which includes a prepared TrueMove H SIM with 1GB of data connections.
And buyers are also entitled to Bt2,400 worth of service when they sign up for the 4G+ Super Net connection package from TrueMove H, which has a monthly starting price of Bt599.
