Mobile broadband connections

Mobile broadband makes it possible for you to connect to the Internet from virtually anywhere, even if there's no
Wi-Fi network available. Mobile broadband connections use 3G, 4G, or LTE cellular and mobile networks to do
this, just as phones do.
When a wired or wireless network isn't available, you can use one of the following options:
Portable wireless router

USB dongle that provides cellular connectivity to a PC

Both of the above options require a mobile broadband subscription. For details, check with your mobile operator.
