The device is designed specifically to provide a method of communication in the outback where there is absolutely no cell coverage. The slender cylindric hotspot can be used to channel a signal if one is needed. The unit is a small and compact capsule that hooks up to the vehicle in the truck to provide an ad hoc wireless network. It can be used to receive Wi-Fi, radio waves and more allowing passengers to communicate to smartphones, computers or even make calls. The hotspot provides a range of 150-miles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Vehicle Network Systems:** A trend that focuses on the integration of compact vehicle networks to provide seamless and stable wireless network in emergency situations and remote locations. - **Ad Hoc Wireless Network Solutions:** A trend that highlights the development of temporary wireless networks in the absence of stable cellular coverage. - **Integrated Communication Solutions:** A trend that focuses on developing innovative and integrated communication systems that cater to difficult terrains and remote locations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automobile:** Vehicle manufacturers can explore integrating portable ad hoc wireless networks in cars to cater to emergency situations and remote locations. - **Telecommunication:** Telecom companies can invest in developing ad hoc wireless network solutions that provide stable network coverage in emergency situations and remote areas. - **Logistics:** Logistics companies can explore integrating portable vehicle network systems in their fleets to provide a stable and seamless wireless network in remote locations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wireless Smartphone Car Adapters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-android-auto-device.md) - [IoT-Enabled Driving Safety Beacons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sigfox.md) - [Enhanced In-Vehicle Infotainment Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-audio-multimedia.md) - [Network-Enabled Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5g-enabled-cars.md) - [GPS Vehicle Safety Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what3words-partnership.md) - [Vehicle-Connected Mobile Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5g-hybrid-mobile-private-network.md) - [International Professional Hotspots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wifi-mobile-hotspot.md) - [Wearable Satellite Communicators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-global-hotspot.md) - [Vehicular Smartphone Signal Boosters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weboost-drive-sleek.md)
