Enjoy the Heat without Missing a Beat
Kicking back this summer shouldn’t mean disconnecting from what’s important to you. With these tech accessories, you can stay connected to your friends, family, favourite apps, games, music and more. And yes, even the office if you absolutely have to.
Here, in no particular order, are the must-have tech accessories to keep you connected this season:
Get a Personal Internet Hotspot. With 11 hours of battery life, the portable Novatel Wireless MiFi 2 lets you connect up to 10 Wi-Fi enabled devices at once, from almost anywhere. That means the entire family can keep the music playing, the videos streaming and the photos Instagrammed from the dock, the deck or by the fire.

Go for Super-fast Internet Speeds. With a 4G NETGEAR Turbo Hub plugged into a power outlet, you can connect up to 15 devices at one time using Wi-Fi and/or an Ethernet cable. Even better, you can also connect it to your landline phone to make calls. It’s like having city speed in the country.

Carry an Outdoor-proof Smartphone. Need a smartphone that can handle country life as well as city life? Check out the Sony Xperia Z2 and Samsung Galaxy S5. Both feature outstanding cameras to help you capture your weekend memories in super high definition. But, they also feature sturdy dust and water-resistant construction, which means they can handle the rough-and-tumble lifestyle of weekends by the water. And, because they’ll be connected to Canada’s largest LTE network, everything you do will be super fast and highly responsive.

Protect the Phone You Love. Life happens – especially outdoors. So, be prepared with a Tech 21 case. Not only do these ultra-slim cases make a stylish addition to your device, but they’re waterproof, dirt proof, snow proof and shockproof, too, and available for many of today’s top smartphones.

Make Great Sound to the Extreme. Built for the beat of the extreme outdoors, the Braven BRV-X portable speaker features an IPX5 water resistant rating, which means it’s impervious to sudden rain showers, cannonball splash or the accidental drink spill. Plus, with a shockproof rubber exterior and 12 hours of music play, it’ll keep your dock rocking all day long. <COMING SOON>

Stay Fashionably Fit and Connected. With the water- and dust-resistant Samsung Gear Fit or Gear 2, wearable tech gets stylishly serious. Not only can they help you keep track of your morning runs or evening walks by the water, but they keep you connected to your device without having to pull it out of your pocket. The Gear 2 even includes a FHD Still and 720p Video camera so you can snap those spontaneous moments almost instantly, with vivid colour and crisp definition.

Pack as Many Novels as You Like. One of the most affordable tablets on the market, the ALCATEL ONETOUCH POP 7 Android 4.2 tablet has a 7” full-colour screen, fast processing power and up to 32 GB of expandable memory that can handle more than its fair share of dockside reading material. And, because it’s also got 4G connectivity, you can stay up to date on news, email or search for campfire song lyrics that the whole family can enjoy.
|
Ensure You’re Always Fully in Charge. Of course, staying connected also means staying powered up. From car adaptors, to wall chargers to portable power stations like the NuPower multipurpose charger or the Mophie powerstation duo battery charger, you’ll want to ensure you’ve got the tools you need to keep your smartphone and tablet powered up and ready to go.
