Cellular data connection

Mobile broadband is wireless internet access delivered through cellular networks rather than fixed cables or phone lines.

It allows laptops, tablets, and phones to connect on the go via SIM cards, USB dongles, or portable hotspots: I rely on mobile broadband when traveling.

Speeds and reliability vary by location and carrier.
