Major carrier Rogers has just added a new LTE-enabled device to its portfolio, the Sierra Wireless AirCard 763S, also known as LTE Rocket.

This is a mobile hotspot that measures 97.5 x 57 x 15.7mm. It allows users to create a Wi-Fi hotspot while on the move, for up to 10 compatible devices.

The handset supports Rogers 1700/2100 MHz and 2600 MHz bands and can potentially reach peak LTE download speeds of up to 100Mbps.

However, users will usually get typical LTE download speeds between 12-40 Mbps, and 12-25 Mbps for 2100 MHz band.

LTE Rocket mobile hotspot is now available for free at Rogers, but requires customers to sign up for a new three-year agreement.

Customers who are not willing to commit to a long-term contract can purchase the LTE device for $199.99 CAD outright.
