Not long after Verizon confirmed release details for its version of the MiFi, Sprint is set to launch its own version of the mobile router in June.
Like the Verizon version, the device features a Wi-Fi radio, EVDO Rev A. modem and allows for up to five simultaneous users with up to 4 hours of battery life and 40 hours of standby time.
The Sprint version also features Hands-Free Activation, additional security through WPA2-PSK, WEP, SPI Firewall support and GPS capabilities to take advantage of select location and mapping applications via Sprint SmartView.
Service plans available for the MiFi center on Mobile Broadband access for $59.99/month for 5GB of monthly access, or $149.99/month as a part of the Simply Everything+Mobile Broadband plan.
Cost for the device will also be identical to the Verizon version at $149.99 after new 2 year agreement before an additional $50 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $99.99.
Very nice piece on the MiFi device! It is great to see other companies breaking into the mobile broadband market, there’s a lot of potential left to explore.
