Smarter Business Travel – 8 tips for your next trip!We’ve compiled a few helpful tips from various websites to make your life easier and more enjoyable on the road! Although business travel can be very rewarding and can boost your professional career. It can also be exhausting and quite stressful at times as anyone who travellers regularly will know!
We live in an age where we are accustomed to getting online 24 hours a day. Especially those travelling and working on the go, the need to get online has become the most prevalent requirement of them all. This is where a portable WiFi device comes into play! It’s no longer a futuristic or highflyer gadget. Its aim is to get you online, no matter where you are in the world and to keep you connected without breaking the bank. No more ridiculous roaming charges or an endless search for WiFi!
There is easy and cost effective solution to some of the most challenging problems in today’s world of connectivity. You first need to know what you are dealing with to find what you’re looking for.
It’s a simple piece of hardware that allows you to be your own WiFi hotspot. What’s not so simple, is the technology inside. It lets you connect up to 5 devices at one time (phones, laptops, tablet’s, camera’s etc.) and enables you to create your very own private and secure WiFi network. The beauty of YRoam is that this connection can be found in 100+ countries worldwide and you simply pay one flat rate depending on the data bundle you choose. No more nasty roaming bills, unreliable connections or giving out your personal details to connect your hotel or café WiFi.
At YRoam, we use something called cloud-sim technology which allows us to keep you connected over a variety of networks depending on which country you are in. By procuring data with all major networks worldwide, your device is able to detect the strongest signal available in your area and seamlessly connect to any given network.
In a word; very!
Unlike many products on the market, YRoam is not tied to one network which means our devices will automatically switch between all available networks depending on signal strength. With 4G and 3G capabilities the device will always prioritize the networks depending on strength. As you know, some countries do not yet support a 4G network, our device quickly deciphers this and connects you to the next best thing, 3G. With download speeds of up to 150 mbps, unlimited data possibilities (so no throttling!), CCMP encryption protocol and up to 15 hours’ continuous use once fully charged, the YR4 boasts some of the best features offered anywhere on the market.
Please note we have provided a dictionary for some of the more ‘techy’ terms.
This light weight and easy-to-use device can be used for pleasure or business. Stay connected on email, boosting productivity. Keep up to date on any social media app or website. Use it in the car for navigating your next destination through Google Maps/Drive. Don’t forget the YR4 is also a power bank (6000mAh), which means you can charge your phone or tablet on the road!

Dodging High Roaming CostsWhen you search data roaming on Google, the first two pages are almost full of ridiculous stories of roaming charges or how one can “dodge” these costs. Below we’ve compiled of a list of titles we found most entertaining and we were amazed to discovered that virtually none of these links gave users a solution to high roaming costs but merely give various work-arounds to avoid the problem! Although helpful, these can be very much dependant on which device you are using, which country you are travelling in, how much data you typically use and how long you need this precious data for.
We’ll end that list there as the combination of using your mobile and travelling inherently brings bad luck it seems. But you get the idea! Did any of these ring true to you? If so, keep reading…
YRoam’s YR4 device is a portable WiFi device that provides a simple solution to combat every question you’ve ever had about roaming abroad.
We’re not superstitious, but we’ll leave it at #12.
‘Ransomware’ hacks and factsBy 2020, it is predicted that 24 billion devices will be connected to the internet. From smartphones, to tablets and fitness tracking gadgets, we can already record every aspect of our lives. Security chiefs have warned us that the rise in demand for these devices “leave us wide open to blackmail and fraud”. The term ‘ransomware’ stems from computer programmes that are stealthily installed on a device to gain ‘ransomable’ information.
Did everyone hear about the possibility to monitor suspects by hacking into Samsung TVs? Well these recent warnings come from leaked documents of the CIA doing exactly that.
When it comes to open WiFi networks, unfortunately there’s no real way to make sure your personal details are secure. The biggest threat to security free WiFi is the potential hacker waiting on the other end. By positioning themselves between you and the connection point, you’re sending your information through the hacker who directly intercepts important emails, credit card information and even security credentials to your business network. Also, by leaving your WiFi switched on, whether you are using your phone, tablet or laptop, the device is still transmitting data! Go figure! Don’t ask, just turn off your WiFi connection when you are not using it, it will save you a possible headache and your battery… happy days.
If you are one who puts connectivity on the top of your list on your travels (and your day to day), don’t worry… you’re not the only one. Most mobile users check their phone 150 times a day! *Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byer’s
So, it stands to reason that you want an easy and cost efficient way to get online and more importantly… stay online!
