Amazon’s eero has unveiled a new $99.99 eero Signal 4G LTE device designed to keep users connected to the internet even during outages, as reported by TechCrunch. The eero Signal acts as a backup system, automatically switching to cellular data when the primary internet connection fails, allowing seamless connectivity for work-from-home professionals, security system users, and those in outage-prone areas.
Users can simply plug the eero Signal into a compatible USB-C powered eero device with Wi-Fi 6 or higher. The device intelligently switches to cellular data during outages and reverts to Standby mode when regular service resumes.
Offering cost-effective connectivity, eero provides subscription options including a $99.99 annual plan with 10 GB of backup data or a $199.99 plan with 100 GB of data. The device supports major carriers like AT&T and Verizon, using a multi-carrier eSIM to connect to the most suitable network at any given time.
Future plans include a 5G variant of the eero Signal priced at $199.99 and integration with eero Business plans. This innovation ensures uninterrupted connectivity, enhancing user experience and reliability in the face of internet disruptions.
