The MBW Connect 5G is our portable 5G hotspot kit, available to rent and ship anywhere in the United States. Whether you need temporary internet for an event, a pop-up activation, a location shoot, or any other situation where a fast and reliable connection needs to arrive at your location quickly, the MBW Connect 5G is designed to get you online without the need for fixed infrastructure or on-site technical support. Order online, receive the kit, set it up in minutes, and return it when you are done.
The MBW Connect 5G is built for situations where you need reliable, high-speed internet without a fixed connection, such as WiFi for events and pop-up stores. Here is what the kit delivers.
The MBW Connect 5G comes with unlimited download data, so you are not watching a data counter during your event or activation. Stream, upload, run applications, and keep your team connected for the full duration of your rental without worrying about hitting a cap.
A single MBW Connect 5G kit can support up to 50 devices simultaneously, enough for a small event, a production crew, or a busy pop-up activation. For situations requiring more capacity, additional Ruckus access points can be added to the setup to extend range and support more concurrent users. Get in touch and we will advise on the right configuration for your specific needs.
In optimal conditions, the MBW Connect 5G can achieve approximately 500 Mbps download and 300 Mbps upload, fast enough to support video streaming, video conferencing, file uploads, and most bandwidth-intensive applications simultaneously. Speeds depend on Verizon network coverage and load in your area, as is standard with all cellular connections. That said, the onboard antenna in the MBW Connect 5G is specifically selected to outperform comparably priced alternatives in real-world conditions.
The MBW Connect 5G operates on the Verizon network, which provides broad coverage across the United States. For situations where redundancy is important, additional SIM cards from AT&T or T-Mobile can be added to the kit to provide automatic failover, if the Verizon connection experiences issues in your location, the kit switches to the next available carrier. This makes the MBW Connect 5G a more resilient option than single-carrier hotspot devices.
The MBW Connect 5G is designed to be set up without technical knowledge. The kit ships with clear instructions, and in most cases you will be online within minutes of opening the box. For clients in the New York City metropolitan area and close New Jersey locations who would prefer hands-on assistance, Made By WiFi can support setup and removal in person.
Our 5G Hotspot Kit is available for rentals of any duration, from a few hours to as many days as your project requires. The base rental covers up to five days of use. Additional days are charged at a daily rate. An optional Ruckus access point rental is available for clients who need to extend range or support more simultaneous devices.
Pricing depends on your rental duration, configuration, and shipping destination. Get in touch with your dates and location and we will confirm availability and provide a tailored quote.

Our 5G Hotspot Kit operates on the Verizon network, which provides coverage across the vast majority of the United States. Before renting, it is worth confirming that Verizon coverage is available at your event location. The kit will not function in areas with no cellular coverage, just like any other cellular device.
For locations where Verizon coverage is limited or uncertain, the optional failover SIM cards from AT&T and T-Mobile provide an additional layer of network availability. If you are unsure about coverage at your specific location, get in touch and we will help you assess the options before you commit to a rental.
