From PC Mag: The hotspot is coming. AT&T just showed off its new Netgear Nighthawk M5 Fusion hotspot, which will be the first consumer mobile 5G device in the world when it launches before the end of the year.
The Nighthawk M5 Fusion, as we predicted, looks a lot like Netgear's existing Nighthawk M1, which was the first gigabit LTE hotspot when it launched last year.
The new hotspot includes a Qualcomm X50 modem, the first consumer 5G modem. AT&T didn't confirm other specs for the Nighthawk M5 Fusion (we got the name from an image title on AT&T's press site), but we think it also has a Qualcomm X20 modem for gigabit-plus speeds on LTE.
AT&T said it connected to the web with the Nighthawk in Waco, Texas, yesterday, emphasizing that it's moving ahead with its plans for being the first consumer mobile 5G network in the world. While Verizon launched 5G services for home internet in October, they aren't mobile, and they don't yet adhere to the global 5G-NR standard.
