Lisa is traveling on company business. She has a company-issued smartphone with 4G access. Her hotel does not provide Internet access. What advantage does 4G provide to help her access the Internet?

Question

Options

• AShe can use a 4G mobile hotspot device with her phone to connect her laptop to Wi-Fi.
• BShe can use the 4G phone to establish a VPN connection into the company network.
• CShe can use the 4G phone to call and locate a public location that provides free Wi-Fl.
• DShe can use her 4G phone's GPS to identify another hotel that provides in-room Internet access.

• A

• B
  6% (4)
• C
  2% (1)
• D

Explanation

Option A is correct because a 4G-enabled smartphone can act as a mobile hotspot, broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal that other devices (like a laptop) can connect to - using the phone's cellular data connection as the internet source. Option B is a distractor because while a VPN is possible over 4G, a VPN requires an existing internet connection first - it's not the advantage 4G itself provides. Option C is wrong because calling to find a Wi-Fi location doesn't use the 4G data capability at all - any basic phone call would suffice. Option D is wrong because GPS is a separate system from 4G cellular data and finding another hotel doesn't solve her immediate connectivity problem.

Memory tip: Think of 4G as a "pipe" - its unique advantage is being the internet connection, not helping you find one elsewhere. The key phrase in the question is "access the Internet," which points directly to tethering/hotspot functionality.
