WHY HULA?
VS.
WHY HULA HOTSPOTS ARE DIFFERENT FROM,
AND SUPERIOR TO,
SMARTPHONE HOTSPOTS.
More than ever, being online is part of being alive. And when unsecured public WiFi has slowed down your lifestyle too much, or when you want to get online while out and about, it's time to create your own personal online world with a Hula Hotspot.
People often wonder, "Why should I get a dedicated mobile hotspot when I can use the personal hotspot functionality on my smartphone?"
Here's why a Hula Hotspot is superior to a smartphone hotspot:
NO DATA RESTRICTIONS
Unlike the hotspot data limitations that come with almost every smartphone plan, Hula Hotspots come with unlimited data, so you never have to worry about being charged additional usage fees. With a smartphone, if you're not careful, you can easily use a month's worth of data in a single afternoon when streaming movies, playing games, or sharing data for a video conference.
SUPERIOR USER EXPERIENCE
Smartphones are multi-purpose devices that have many processes and applications running at all times, so they may not prioritize their WiFi signal. Conversely, Hula Hotspots are single function devices, optimized for one purpose - providing users with a secure, reliable, high-performance network connection so they can connect to the Internet when and where needed.
EXTENDED SIGNAL RANGE
The hotspot signal generated by a smartphone has a range of about 30 feet. On the other hand, Hula Hotspots allow users to maintain a WiFi connection up to 160 feet (in any direction), even while walking around. In addition, the signal generated by a Hula Hotspot maintains strength throughout its usage range, unlike smartphone signals which quickly degrade as users move further away.
IMPROVED DATA SECURITY
In a world where personal and confidential data is targeted by increasingly sophisticated threats, Hula Hotspots provide added peace of mind. When you share a WiFi connection with others by allowing them to connect to your smartphone, you are potentially exposing all the information on that device. A Hula Hotspot isn’t a gateway to your private data - it's a secure WiFi connection.
BETTER CONNECTIVITY
Most smartphones support only a few connected devices. While you can (theoretically) tether multiple devices to your smartphone, the more devices you add, the worse the experience usually is - because smartphones aren't designed for this specific purpose. Hula Hotspots, on the other hand, can simultaneously support up to 20 WiFi devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets.
LONGER BATTERY LIFE
Using your phone to create a personal hotspot demands a great deal of power, draining your phone’s battery at a rapid pace. Hula Hotspots require much less power - providing up to 24 hours of continuous use and the ability to enter a sleep state, which conserves energy when not in use. Smartphones lack this ability, because they need to maintain a network connection to accept incoming calls.
