WakaNet MiFi vs the Competition
When it comes to portable wifi gadgets options in Uganda. Airtel had dominated the market with the Airtel 4G Pocket MiFi which when compared to the Wakanet MiFi struggles to gain a competitive advantage. MTN dominates Airtel when it comes to price points and the data offers. Both devices pack the same specs in terms of the maximum number of users(10 devices) that can be connected to the WiFi hotspot at once.
The decision to choose the best option usually boils down to how well each ISP performs within your area. But if you are a cost-sensitive customer and are always looking for a good deal, MTN Wakanet seems like a good option as it packs everything you need at a cheaper fee.
