WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE TO BE IN THE LOOP?

Because they want to stay connected anytime anywhere — ditch FOMO (fear of missing out) forever. That's probably why this new gadget is the Next Big Thing, you wouldn't want to leave home without it.

"Modern families have been redefined," asserts Abby Cardino, vice president, Globe Broadband Business. "Before, they just stayed home. This time, you have families by choice — meaning your friends. So when you move outside of your home, technically home is where you're with your loved ones."

Say hello to the Globe At Home The Loop, described as the world's first 5G-powered portable home broadband device that allows you to take your home Internet anywhere.

But why get another WiFi when you already have one on your phone?

"Your phone is for your private, individual use while The Loop is for family sharing," Abby puts it simply.

"Just one is enough to connect to 10 devices — that's today's maximum number of family members. If you put it on a table when you're in a group, you just scan the QR code and everybody gets access to the WiFi."
