We have been watching this company for a few years now as they continue to keep a lot of our jetsetters connected while traveling around the globe. Skyroam was founded in 2008, in Silicon Valley by technology innovators who identified a common pain-point among fellow travelers: getting fast, secure, and reliable mobile internet connection on the road. While we understand WiFi is commonly available while flying or at the hotels, but this secure connection on the streets of cities around the world, or while in the car between meeting, being connected so easily has kept our attention over the years.

To solve this problem, Skyroam developed and patented its virtual SIM (vSIM) technology, which delivers on-demand local wireless data through local carrier partnerships around the world. Enjoyed by over 15 million users worldwide, Skyroam’s global hotspots, embedded with a vSIM, enable unlimited mobile WiFi in 130+ countries. This vSIM technology also provides global mobile data access to IoT, M2M, and wearables applications.

One thing that all people “on the go” have in common is the fact that WiFi has become like water: they need it to survive. Now, users can do even more, from anywhere! Sharing, browsing, photographing, emailing, tracking, downloading, live streaming- you name it. There are currently two models available, with the Skyroam Solis X being the option that we favorably endorse to our jetsetters as it has all the great capabilities we appreciate: the power bank keeps your devices charged, remote camera captures more candid moments, smart assistant helps keep the itinerary on track, and 16+ hours of battery life ensure you can do it all, all day. Here’s the breakdown of the two units.

Skyroam Solis X WiFi Hotspot

Skyroam Solis X is the first premium portable hotspot with WiFi, remote camera, power bank, and smart assistant giving you the ability to simultaneously see, listen, speak, and connect from down the street or across the globe (more than 130 countries). Fast, 4G LTE speeds, wide-range global frequency bands offer a fast, secure and more reliable internet connection, shareable on up to 10 devices at once, all for one low flat rate worldwide.

“The Solis X was designed to enhance social, family, and travel experiences for anyone who wishes to do more from anywhere,” says Skyroam Founder and CEO, Jing Liu. “By expanding upon what Skyroam does best, we are enabling so many more consumers to stay connected with loved ones, stay powered on, stay socially engaged and stay integrated into their “smart” lifestyle with no geographic limits.”

Skyroam Solis Lite WiFi Hotspot

Skyroam Solis Lite provides even better global coverage in a smaller, truly pocket-sized device, giving travelers affordable, on-demand access to Skyroam’s mobile data network in 130+ countries. The small but powerful hotspot delivers a fast, 4G LTE connection, shareable on up to 10 devices at once, all for one low flat rate worldwide. And, it comes with Skyroam’s patented VirtualSIM™ technology, so users always get the best local connection near home or while travelling abroad.

“The Solis Lite is a streamlined alternative to the Solis X aimed at those who simply want the best WiFi on-the-go,” says Skyroam Founder and CEO, Jing Liu. “We want to give as many people as possible access to the Skyroam network for reliable, secure WiFi connectivity, so we set out to create the Solis Lite as a high quality yet affordable solution.”
