Description
The U50 is a portable hotspot: you insert a SIM with a data plan, and your phone (or other devices) connects to it over Wi-Fi 6. It supports 5G (SA/NSA) and LTE, has a 4500 mAh battery and a USB-C port, and weighs about 164 g.
It can help when you want to use a different operator than your phone's, or take the modem load off the phone. It has two TS-9 external antenna ports for selected 5G bands.
Honestly: this is NOT a GSM signal repeater. It does not create coverage where there is none – connection quality depends on the SIM's operator and the location. It works between 0 and 35 °C, so it needs protection from the cold in winter.

FAQ
Will it improve coverage in the forest?
There is no such guarantee. The router uses its SIM's operator network – it only helps where that operator has a better signal than your phone.
Do I need a separate SIM?
Yes, the router runs on its own SIM (nano, or eSIM where supported) with a data plan.
Is it a signal booster?
No. It is a portable router/hotspot. We do not sell GSM repeaters – private use in Poland may be unlawful.
