On the home screen you can see icons representing the quality of the connection (expressed as bars), which kind of network you’re connected to (3G or 4G), the number of messages (you can now read messages directly from the device), the battery life remaining, and the number of devices connected.
With earlier models, 3 hours of usage time away from the charger is about all you could expect to get on a good day. Mobile hotspots’ biggest problem has been their weak battery life, which keeps them from being mobile for very long. The Elevate 4G works the same way, except that it steps down to AT&T’s HSPA+ service if LTE isn’t available. In its 4G mode, you can connect up to ten devices to the MiFi 4620L Jetpack (but only five if it’s in 3G mode). The MiFi 4620L Jetpack automatically tries to connect with Verizon’s 4G LTE network, and, failing that, will connect with the carrier’s 3G CDMA (1圎vDO Rev.
The range of the Wi-Fi network each hotspot creates is 33 feet you can connect a device from as far as 100 feet away if it’s in the direct line of sight. It also weighs a bit more (3.6 ounces) in a bag full of devices, however, the Elevate 4G’s extra weight will be almost unnoticeable.
The Elevate 4G is a little chunkier than other hotspots we’ve tried, measuring 0.7 inch thick. The MiFi 4620L Jetpack measures about 3.75 by 2.5 by 0.5 inches, and weighs 3.2 ounces with the smaller battery in.
