This table shows the major differences between Cellular and Wi-Fi:
| Cellular (LTE, 5G, EDGE, etc.) | Wi-Fi (Provided by ETS and your community) |
| Offered by mobile carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.) | Multiple Wireless Access Points (transmitters) are installed by ETS throughout your community. They are often mounted on a ceiling or wall. |
| Covers large areas (cities, towns, etc.) using outdoor towers | Location-based and covers smaller areas such as offices, residential buildings, cafes, airports, homes, etc. |
| Users purchase plans for a certain amount of data per period (10 GB, 50 GB, Unlimited, etc.) | No data limits while connected to the ETS network |
| Useful for simple internet activities while on the go (checking Email or Facebook) | Generally much faster than cellular, perfect for data-intensive activities (Skype, Netflix, Youtube, downloading music, etc.) |
| Primary method for calls and SMS text messages | Wi-Fi calling can be used for calls and texts if your carrier and phone support it. Usually this setting needs to be enabled via Settings. |
