Montréal, August 17, 2012 – Telecom technology leader Videotron announces the introduction of a mobile Wi-Fi device that enables customers to share a high-speed wireless Internet connection among up to five users, anywhere1, anytime. The small, deceptively simple hotspot router operates on Videotron's 4G network. It will become an indispensable tool for families, friends and business.
Fast and reliable. Period.
At soccer practice, on family outings, at business meetings or on the road, mobile Wi-Fi sets Videotron customers free. It is compatible with laptops, tablets, game consoles and smartphones. Customers will be able to establish a fast and reliable Internet connection to Videotron's advanced network from as many as five devices simultaneously.
Small, discreet and elegant, the mobile Wi-Fi device supports Videotron's mobile Internet access services: mobile High Speed Internet and Ultimate Speed Internet at speeds of up to 42 Mbps. Wherever they may be in Quebec, Videotron customers will be able to stay connected with family and take advantage of the best-value data plan on the market at $10 for 500 MB. The device can be purchased for $0 with a 24-month economic inducement. For more information about the mobile Wi-Fi device and Videotron's products and services, visit videotron.com/ mobile-wifi
