Tata Docomo has launched a new device called the ‘Photon Max Wi-Fi Duo’ priced at Rs 2899, which enables Wi-Fi internet on the go. The device also features a 4400 mAh battery power bank and comes with a 32GB MicroSD card slot, which acts as personal cloud storage. The device can connect up to five devices to the internet at the same time, including smartphones, TVs, consoles, tablets etc. The built-in battery power bank provides battery backup to the device, while also being able to charge smartphones when necessary. Additionally, if equipped with a microSD, the device can configure the card to be used by a single device, in Wi-Fi sharing mode with multiple local devices and as cloud storage to access the data from any internet connected device. Photon Max Wi-Fi Duo currently comes with free roaming across India, and with up to 9.8mbps download speed and up to 3.6mbps upload speed. Tariff plans for the device range between Rs 650 and Rs 1250 for unlimited plans with speed throttling at 3GB to 30GB, and Rs 300 and Rs 450 for usage based plans for 1GB and 2GB respectively. The device is an interesting one by Docomo and seems ideal for frequent travellers especially with on the go smartphone charging capabilities and all India free roaming. The upto 32GB of cloud storage space will also benefit those working on multiple devices across locations. It seems like the company is currently only testing waters though, as the device is available…
