Boost Mobile announces new Wi-Fi hotspot device and plans

Boost Mobile, Sprint’s prepaid no-contract wireless provider, announced their entry into the Wi-Fi hotspot device market with the NetGear Fuse device. Able to support up to 10 devices at once, the NetGear Fuse is 4G capable. Boost Mobile is also introducing two data plan choices for users who are interested in this new option.

Users who have minimal data needs can opt for a 1.5GB per month plan that costs $25 per month. If more data requirements are anticipated, the next tier up is a 10GB per month plan for $50 per month. The hardware itself costs $50 and is currently available from Best Buy and will be available online at Boost Mobile on Friday, July 17th. The device will hit Boost Mobile retail locations and other independent retailers in August.

Besides support for 10 simultaneous clients, the NetGear Fuse comes with a 2,500mAh battery with a claimed battery life of 10 hours of continuous use. The device has a small LCD screen to help users monitor the device. Although no software install is required, users can configure security settings to block devices or even setup a guest Wi-Fi connection if needed.
