Overview
Mobile hotspot devices, such as wireless router "pucks" and smartphones, are gaining popularity, but some carriers are struggling to keep usability complaints and support costs in check. In the already-confusing world of broadband data usage, overage fees, and "bill shock," mobile hotspots can make data consumption even more complex—especially when an entire family or small business shares a single broadband data connection. The FCC recently stepped in to play referee, requiring carriers to issue alerts when customers approach data limits, but Smith Micro has an even better way to slash into the problem while providing an easier, better-managed mobile broadband experience for consumers.
