I usually use my Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G with mobile hotspot for off-site meetings where the HoloLens 2 is connected over Wi-Fi to the phone's hotspot.

Would be good if this can be turned off.

dcanepaI saw in your post that you were receiving some dongles and handsets to test. By any chance are these 5G dongles or are they still 4G? If you have received them, by any chance have you had a chance to test them?

The devices mentioned above are all 4G LTE (on CBRS).
I received a new 4G/5G dongle late last week, great form factor and confirmed working on the HL2. Due to NDA I cannot share details of the dongle as yet but I have written up some of the details here; https://docs.celona.io/en/articles/5132236-microsoft-hololens-2-headset-on-celona
