Hello Forward,
Welcome to the community!
Some providers actually provide Home Internet which uses the LTE network. It's often the only option for some rural communities. They usually have their own devices for accessing the internet (Rocket Hub, Smart Hub, etc). I understand your consideration is for a backup option rather than as your primary source of internet. However, it should be noted that Fido's largest data-only offering is their tablet plan (4GB). A couple of devices could use up that amount of data rather quickly.
As long as those Hubs are not locked to any provider, most of them should work with Fido providing they have compatible bands/frequencies. You can verify the compatible bands/frequencies here. There are a few options on Amazon.
Hope this helps 😀
Cheers
Hey @forward,
To be sure we're on the same page here, I just want to clarify, are you looking to activate a new line and add a data only plan with a (device)?
The Novatel Hotspot Device does have a battery, but it of course also comes with the proper charger to charge it when batteries are running low. This device however requires its own separate data only plan to be used with it if you want to finance it through our Fido Payment Program.
