If you're subscribed to the Verizon wireless broadband plan the MiFi 2200 is a device you'll want to invest in.
The company announced today, "the MiFi 2200 lets customers create a personal Wi-Fi cloud capable of sharing the reliability and high-speed Internet connectivity of the Verizon Wireless 3G Mobile Broadband network with up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as notebooks, netbooks, cameras, gaming devices or portable media/MP3 players."
I've been researching the mobile broadband data plan for a while now and the standard rate is $50.00 a month for 5GB worth of data with overage calculated at 5 cents per MB. While I wouldn't recommend using this plan for watching a lot of internet video or downloading software on the internet, it can be very handy when you're commuting and need to check email and get some basic web related work done.
The specifications for the device are as follows:
The MiFi 2200 is small enough to fit in a pocket, measuring 3.5” x 2.3” x 0.4” and weighing 2.05 ounces. It combines a variety of features into its streamlined form factor, including integrated internal CDMA and Wi-Fi antennas, advanced security and authentication technologies. When one device is connected through Wi-Fi, the MiFi 2200’s rechargeable battery provides up to four hours of active use and 40 hours of standby time on a single charge.

So is this device going to give Verizon the edge in increasing the number of subscribers to its network? My vote is a resounding yes as the device allows one to share the cloud with 5 additional devices.
I look forward to your thoughts on this device from both a business and technical perspective.
