New value MiFi coming soon to Three

Three, the provider of the award-winning ‘Huawei E586 MiFi’, is launching a new value model MiFi that will offer wireless internet access with the same high speed HSPA+ broadband technology at a lower price point.

Offering the same great functionality as the E586, the Huawei E5331 Value MiFi allows people to connect up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices, including tablets, laptops and handheld gaming consoles, to the internet while on-the-go. Fast and secure, the pocket-sized Value MiFi is simple to use with just one button and an LED screen displaying key information including signal strength and battery life.

Mark Brewer, head of mobile broadband at Three said, “As the market leader in mobile broadband it’s great to be able to bolster our range with yet another high speed mobile Wi-Fi device. The Value MiFi offers fast browsing and a seamless streaming experience, all on Three’s award winning mobile broadband network.”

Mark Mitchinson, Executive Vice President at Huawei Device UK & Ireland, said, “Huawei continues to lead and innovate in the mobile broadband space, our relationship with Three continues to flourish, and the new Huawei E5331 Value MiFi brings the speed and benefit of WiFi on-the-go to a whole new audience.”

Key features:

• LED screen with clear icon display
• One button connection
• Up to 21.1 Mbps technical standard Download (HSPA+)
• Up to 5.76 Mbps technical standard Uplink (HSUPA)
• 4.5 hours battery life

Unfortunately, as it stands at the moment we don’t actually know what this new lower price point will be. But as soon as we do we will of course let you know.
