Verizon Wireless this week announced the MiFi 7730L Jetpack, a global mobile hotspot that provides wireless access to WiFi devices in the U.S. and around the world. Verizon says the 7730L supports Cat 9 LTE-Advanced with carrier aggregation for speeds that are up to 50% quicker in some 450 U.S. markets. It supports a wide array of LTE bands for overseas markets, as well as CDMA 1x, GSM, and HSPA/HSPA+. The dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac radio helps offer connectivity to up to 15 WiFi devices at a time. The 7730L has a 4,400mAh internal battery that can be charged rapidly via Quick Charge, but it can also be put to use charging phones and accessories via the USB-C port when needed. The Jetpack has a 2.4-inch touch screen for managing settings, and supports mass storage access. The MiFi 7730L Jetpack, made by Novatel, costs $200 at full retail or $50 with a two-year contract.
