Baidu Wi-Fi Hotspot is best suited where there is zero-tolerance for no network as it converts a Windows device to an access point where multiple users can access that windows device's network which stops their work from hampering even if there is no data available. It is a safe app therefore safety is not at all an issue for users.

It is ideal to have a fast, secure, and very stable 4g Wi-Fi network to expand the range of connectivity for users and increase the productivity and efficiency of work teams. It is not so good to implement it quickly as you need to learn how to use it very efficiently it is not plugged and played.
