Verizon and Inseego launched the 5G MiFi M1000 on July 18, 2019 - the first Verizon mobile hotspot with 5G capabilities.
This first-generation 5G mobile hotspot provides support for Verizon's nascent 5G millimeter-wave network, as well as robust support for Verizon's existing 4G LTE network.
In September 2022, Inseego released the MiFi X Pro which includes Sub6 support as well for their nationwide 5G network - which should be considered instead of the M1000.
The M1000 also includes an Ethernet port for sharing the internet connection, but it lacks any antenna ports.

News, Videos, & Status
We consider this a very limited device with support only for mmWave Ultrawideband 5G, and not worth acquiring considering we (and nomads in general) are seldom in places where this sort of coverage exists.

Mobile hotspot devices are small, self-contained units that receive a cellular data signal and transform it into an internet connection. They are a cellular modem and router combined. Most can create their own personal Wi-Fi network.
They are typically designed with a specific cellular carrier in mind and require a suitable cellular data plan of their own to operate. You might see them called Jetpacks (Verizon's term for them) or MiFi (Inseego's name for them).
Here's a quick video going over the features of a hotspot, and what makes one better than another:
