When you write about tech for a living, you come across plenty of product categories that aren't really aimed at your pay bracket, and that's exactly how I'd describe portable hotspots. While some of these can be wallet-friendly, there are a whole heap of them aimed at corporate travellers who spend almost their whole lives on the go.
At least, that's what I assume the target market looks like, since many of these hotspots cost well north of £500 or $500 before you even turn to data plans. It was telling that when Netgear unveiled the Nighthawk M7 5G at CES earlier this year, it was positioned as a more affordable option than the other portable Nighthawks, despite still costing £479.
