AT&T has a solution for bringing Internet connectivity even to nearly 20-year-old automobiles. Though it sounds like a mashup of goofy tech buzzwords, the ZTE-made Mobley is AT&T's first mobile hotspot capable of plugging into any on-board diagnostics port, which means it will work with vehicles made around 1996 or later.

The Mobley can power up to five devices on AT&T's LTE network and requires minor setup, the company says, as the device turns on automatically when the car engine starts and powers down when the engine is off. It's similar to Verizon's Delphi Connect hotspot, which was advertised in 2013 as a way to troubleshoot problems with your car, but also doubles as a Wi-Fi hotspot.
