I am assuming the use of a laptop without external aerials etc.
I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

I wondered whether such a Hotspot would have a higher specification.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon.

I was wondering whether a Hotspot at a location such as a Tesco supermarket would for instance cover the whole of the car park and the perimeter beyond.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0 -
You did not ask about Premium .
But yes the bigger stores etc have repeaters but very much hit and miss as to when and where you get a signal . That can be due to the building for one .0
