The AirCard 754S is the latest and greatest mobile hotspot device to come from Sierra Wireless.

The big difference with the 754s compared to other mobile hotspot devices is that it supports 4G LTE mobile networks. Which in theory will allow up to 100Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload when on a LTE network.

If there are no LTE networks available the device will ‘fall back’ to older 3G and 2G technologies.

As with most mobile hotspots the 754s will support up to 5 WiFi enabled devices (the newer 763s is expected to support 10 WiFi devices).

Currently the 754s can be purchased from the following mobile network operators:

AT&T - Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G
Rogers - LTE Rocket Mobile Hotspot

Devices purchased from network operators will be locked. The unlocking solution can be purchased from Aircard 754s Unlocking. Once unlocked the device will work with SIM cards from any network operator.

Using the AirCard 754s is very straight forward with no software or drivers to install. Administration can be performed from any device with a web browser.

The LCD displays the usual information, such as: WiFi access information, battery life, network signal strength, network type and the number of devices connected.
