MOBILE HOTSPOT DEVICE AND BATTERY

摘要

A mobile hotspot device may be used to interface one or more host computing devices with a wireless wide area network. The mobile hotspot device is powered by a high-capacity lithium ion (Li-Ion) cylindrical battery pack(s) and has a small, pen-like form factor. Use of the Li-Ion cylindrical battery pack(s) improves mobile hotspot device talk time over prismatic battery cell technology, as well as avoids premature device/modem shutdown experienced when a prismatic battery cell is proximate to a printed circuit assembly of the mobile hotspot device. Additionally still, Li-Ion cylindrical battery pack(s) avoid negatively impacting volume capacity of the mobile hotspot device. Further still, use of the Li-Ion cylindrical battery pack(s) allows for unique, interactive information display, as well as evolutionary mobile hotspot device design and form factors.
