Description / Abstract: These requirements establish multiple attribute sustainability criteria for mobile hotspots, including the packaging and all components shipped in the box with the mobile hotspot. Separate requirements for the device providing hotspot services, external power supply, cables and other accessories shipped in the box are included. Mobile hotspots are defined as a portable device which connects to a cellular telephone network and provides local WiFi services.

These requirements apply to products that are or will be available for purchase at the time of certification.

The criteria in these requirements were developed based on the life cycle stages of mobile hotspots and similar electronics. Sustainability factors considered in these requirements are: materials, packaging, manufacturing and operations, energy efficiency of the external power supply, health and environment, and end of life management.
