Tethering suddenly disconnects! What is the mechanism of this small gadget that stabilizes communication just by plugging it in?

When working on the Shinkansen or at a café, it's common to have your smartphone's tethering suddenly disconnect, causing a stir! Let's enhance the stability of tethering with this tiny device weighing about 20 g.

A compact device to suppress sudden disconnection of tethering

When I tried to send documents at a café on a business trip, my computer's internet connection was cut off. Although my smartphone had sufficient signal, for some reason, tethering just wouldn't work. Have you ever had that experience?

One possible cause is the power-saving feature of the smartphone. Depending on the model and settings, the tethering connection may be suspended after a certain period of inactivity. This brought my attention to the "GetNew Hotspot Stabilizer" developed by Taiwan's GetNew Technology. It uses proprietary technology to maintain the smartphone's tethering connection and suppress automatic disconnection.

Approximately 20g compact body

The main unit is approximately 4cm square and weighs only about 20g. It's a size that's easy to fit into the gaps of a gadget pouch, making it appealing to those who don't want to increase their carrying load.

Its feature is the unique technology that maintains communication between smartphones and connected devices. By continually exchanging weak signals, it incorporates a mechanism that suppresses automatic disconnection due to power-saving features during tethering. Being USB-powered without an internal battery is also a nice aspect since there's no need to charge the main unit.

Once the initial setup is complete, you just need to plug it into USB from then on.

The usage is quite simple. Once you set the SSID and password of the connection destination during the first connection, it will automatically connect via USB power from the next time onwards. It supports power supply not only from a computer but also from a mobile battery. As long as you have power, it can be used even in places without an outlet.

However, please note that it is not a product that improves communication speed itself. It cannot communicate in areas where the smartphone is out of range, so it should be considered as a tool that supports maintaining tethering connections.

Whether on a Shinkansen or in a café! Smartly enhance your communication environment.

There are various situations where it can be useful, such as during travel on the Shinkansen, at a café while on a business trip, or when working on a computer in a parked car. If the hassle of operating your smartphone every time the tethering disconnects is reduced, it seems you could focus better on your work.
