Your laptop will be less productive without a wireless network during your travel.

According to U.S. Travel Association statistics, U.S. residents logged 457.4 million person‑trips for business purposes and 1.7 billion person‑trips for leisure purposes in 2016.

Trusting whatever network you have available to you leads to all kinds of complications such as viruses, hacking and open wireless networks. It is also unsafe to rely on public Wi-Fi signals in every coffee shop you visit, and sometimes when traveling to remote locations, public connections are just not available.

Thus, you can invest in a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot to ensure safe, secure, and reliable internet access anywhere you go.
