Sprint is launching a new type of mobile hotspot — the Sierra Wireless 4G LTE Tri-Fi Hotspot, the first device that will convert LTE, WiMAX and 3G networks into a WiFi signal. Via the portable device, users can access three networks — Sprint’s CDMA 3G network, its WiMax 4G network and its upcoming LTE 4G network. The Tri-Fi, which is manufactured by Sierra Wireless, can last up to eight connected hours per day on its 3600mAh battery. The device could appeal to families or small businesses, Sprint said, since it can work on as many as eight WiFi-enabled devices.
