Care to share your mobile internet connection? Then Rogers’ new Rocket Hub is just the device for you. This Ericsson HSPA WiFi router provides both voice and wireless data, and supports up to 15 connections at a single time. Installation and operation is as easy as plugging it into a socket and connecting to the internet. The Rogers Rocket Hub is retailing for $149.99 on a 2-year contract or $399.99 outright purchase.
Flex rate Data Only plan options for the Rocket Hub are $35 (up to 3GB), $45 (3GB-5GB), and $60 (5GB-10GB). Voice and Data Plans, meanwhile, are $50 (up to 3GB), $60 (3GB-5GB), and $75 (5GB-10GB). Local voice calls are unlimited, but for an additional $20/month, you can upgrade this to include unlimited Canadian long distance as well. International roaming, however, is disabled on these accounts so using this while venturing outside the country is out of the question. It should also be noted that the bundled SIM card is locked to the unit.
The Rocket Hub, apart from providing a WiFi connection, also comes with standard LAN jack so you can hook up non-WiFi enabled devices to it via cable. Max data speed rates max out at 7.2Mbps. Sorry guys, you won’t be able to take advantage of their new 21Mbps HSPA+ network with this baby. Nonetheless, the Rocket Hub is a nice hassle free solution to share your internet connection either at home or work without having to install any additional lines. Interested?
