The MTS MBlaze Power Wi-Fi has been unveiled for India as a portable hotspot which provides long hours of internet usage and also acts as a power bank to charge mobile devices such as phones and tablets. Judging by its size, the gadget should be convenient to carry around and is being offered with prepaid and postpaid subscriptions.
The main benefit of the MTS MBlaze Power Wi-Fi is that you won’t have to hunt for a wall outlet or unnecessarily occupy a USB port when on the go. The built-in 5200mAh battery is estimated to provide roughly 15 hours of browsing on a single charge and the company estimates that it can juice up a smartphone around 3 times.
Obviously this depends on the battery capacity of your device and the measurement is based on an average of a 1800mAh power house. With Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n connectivity, you can share your internet connection with up to 6 devices. The hotspot doesn’t work on GSM, but the carrier’s 3GPlus network. And it also sports a microSD card slot that’s compatible with 32GB of memory.
In other news, MTS has partnered with HP to offer its MBlaze Ultra Wi-Fi dongle at no extra cost with every unit of the Omni 10 tablet. Apart from this, 200MB of free data will be provided to customers each month and the promotion is said to be lifelong.
