What is the antenna connector on the Hotspot?

No, the indoor unit does not have the ability to have a 4G Modem added, you could use a solution like a MiFi or 4G to Ethernet module to achieve the same result.

How much internet data per month does the Hotspot use?

The actual usage may be slightly less or more and will be something we up-date over time as we start measuring more units.

Once all hotspots become "light hotspots" this data usage will reduce.
