A field laptop has no Wi-Fi of its own. It gets online by joining a Wi-Fi network the technician's phone creates from its cellular service. Which phone feature is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The phone is lending its cellular doorway to the laptop over Wi-Fi. That loan is the mobile hotspot you turn on. A tap radio, a company-management profile, and a dock that is back at the desk do not turn the phone's cellular service into a network the laptop joins.
Full Explanation
A mobile hotspot lets the phone share its cellular data connection, and other devices join the Wi-Fi network the phone creates. The laptop has no Wi-Fi of its own and gets online that way, so the feature is the hotspot. Near-field communication is a tap between devices that are almost touching. It does not create a Wi-Fi network from the cellular radio. Mobile device management applies company policy to a phone. Enrollment is not the feature that shares the cellular data link. A desk dock stays on a desk and adds ports or a stand. It is not what projects a Wi-Fi network while the technician is in the field. Exam caveat: a hotspot uses the phone's cellular plan, so a data cap still applies to every byte the laptop moves. Operational check: turn the hotspot on, join it from the laptop, and open a page that does not load on the laptop's own failed Wi-Fi. Join the hotspot from the laptop and load a page, then turn the hotspot off and confirm the page fails. Watch the phone's data counter move while the laptop loads the page.
