The Netgear Nighthawk M7 Pro is the flagship 5G mobile hotspot first released for AT&T in September 2024.
The M7 Pro was the first mobile hotspot to utilize Qualcomm's Snapdragon X75 cellular chipset, which includes advanced features like 5x carrier aggregation and other performance and efficiency improvements. The M7 Pro also comes with Wi-Fi 7.
Product Variations
Currently, the M7 series has only one hotspot, but as with previous generations, like the M6 series, we expect more models to come out in the future.

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:
