    Hotspots aren’t for everyone. For most, the free Wi-Fi at coffee shops, libraries, and public parks is more than enough. When it’s not available, a smartphone hotspot feature can suffice.

    But for some users, publically available Wi-Fi isn’t plentiful enough and is rife with security risks. For them, particularly the business-minded set who just has to get work done, smartphone battery life is equally important. That’s why many still turn to hotspots for their mobile connectivity, which offer the added benefit of connectivity options typically limited to home routers.

    The AT&T Velocity from ZTE is one such device. It’s a 4G LTE mobile hotspot a bit larger than a smartphone that spits out 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi. It supports both dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), and allows up to 10 connections at once. It has a relatively large touchscreen display and basic security features to satisfy even the most guarded business users.

    So is that enough to justify its off-contract price or another two years of additional fees? Let’s find out.
