EE has announced the launch of its first own-brand mobile broadband device, offering customers 5G internet speeds on the go.

The network has introduced 5GEE WiFi that brings 5G speeds to any WiFi-enabled product, creating a personal, secure WiFi hotspot for up to 64 WiFi-enabled devices. 

The service will offer customers broadband speeds as fast as fibre with average download speeds of 150Mb/s. 

5GEE WiFi supports the next-generation standard WiFi technology, Wi-Fi 6. Wi-Fi 6 helps increase the 5GEE WiFi device’s efficiency in heavy bandwidth usage scenarios. 

EE director of devices and partnerships Alistair Wilson said: “EE offers customers the UK’s fastest 5G service in more places, and we’re continually looking for ways to help provide them with new ways to get access to the best superfast internet connectivity on the go. 

“Whether it’s for streaming new movies on a laptop or using the latest augmented reality services with a headset when paired with our new 5GEE WiFi mobile broadband device, customers will be able to enjoy the incredible speeds offered by the UK’s number one 5G network.”

EE’s 5G service is currently available in 112 towns and cities across the UK. In the last 12 months, EE has more than doubled its amount of 5G sites in key cities such as Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, and Edinburgh. 

Customers can purchase 5GEE WiFi on a range of monthly plans with 50GB of data from £45 a month on a 24-month plan, with 100GB of data for £67.50 per month, or with and 200GB of data for £90 per month.
