Vodafone launches new instant Wi-Fi solution – the Gigacube B818
Vodafone has launched Gigacube B818 – a new wireless mobile router for consumers and businesses that turns Vodafone’s 4G network into a Wi-Fi network. The flexible alternative to ‘standard broadband’ allows customers to benefit from high-speed internet access in areas without fixed-line connectivity.
The portable device can also be taken with you anywhere in the UK** and can be set up in minutes – without the need for an engineer.
At a time when families are primarily working and learning from home, this high-speed router offers a simple and flexible solution to getting connected. Being a true plug and play device, it can be situated anywhere in the house, whether that’s in a home office, or where the children are doing their online learning.
Capable of handling maximum speeds up to 1.6Gbps download and 150Mbps upload, customers are able to access superfast speeds and reliable Wi-Fi quickly**. Gigacube is ideal for those who run a small business, have a second home or a home office. It is also particularly useful for businesses that don’t have a fixed location, or for families who are all working from home and need additional broadband support.
The Gigacube can connect up to 64 devices at any one time and has a Wi-Fi range of 250 metres.
Customers can choose either a fixed-term or rolling contract, with the option to have up to 300GB of data per month. For information on pricing please see below:
