We first saw the Tri-Fi (then known as the Tri-Network Hotspot) at CES, where unfortunately we weren’t able to test its LTE capacities; customers probably won’t be getting access to that network either for a bit longer. The Tri-Fi does have one fairly big advantage, though: its 3,600mAh battery is twice as large as that of Sierra’s comparable AT&T Elevate 4G, and Sprint says you’ll get eight hours of use or up to eight weeks of standby on the device.
