Turn your house into a Verizon 4G LTE home with SmartHub

Slow Wi-Fi speeds got you down? Introducing the Verizon SmartHub, a 4G LTE router that gives you the bandwidth you need using the Verizon network. SmartHub is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to easily add high-speed internet and connected devices to their home. The SmartHub uses the Verizon network you trust to connect your smartphones, laptops and smart devices, including more than 200 Wi-Fi-enabled products. With SmartHub, you can even keep your existing home phone number and make HD Voice calls.

Control your world with Verizon Home

To make your smart home even smarter, download Verizon Home, a companion app for SmartHub that lets you conveniently monitor and control smart home accessories from your smartphone. Get notifications and schedule routines like adjusting lights, setting thermostat temperatures and more, from your sofa or on the go. You can even keep an eye on your home when you’re away by using Verizon Home to control door locks, lights, security cameras and thermostat.

Verizon Home also lets you set up home automation so you can use the app to trigger your Nest thermostat to start warming your house when you’re heading home from work or have your Kwikset Home Connect unlock your front door from your car.

Beyond internet

For the design conscious, SmartHub was created to blend in with your existing décor with its modern looks, subtle under-lighting and forward lean (so you can easily read the color screen). The display lets you quickly access data usage and Wi-Fi passwords, and its portable size means you can easily move it between your home, office or vacation spot.

Thanks to the included replacement battery, SmartHub provides critical backup of voice connectivity, even when the power goes out. Giving you the peace of mind that you can still make calls to let friends and family know you are okay.

Verizon SmartHub is available on May 25 for $199.99 or $99.99 with a two-year contract.
