U.S.-based commercial internet service provider, DHI Telecom, LLC, has reportedly combined its two European smartphone Wi-Fi companies; TravelWiFi and TepWireless. The new joint venture would be operated under the name Travelwifi and would help amplify secure and seamless Wi-Fi connectivity throughout Europe and beyond.
It would offer sales and rentals services of SIM-free portable Wi-Fi with up to 4G LTE speeds, leveraging CloudSIM technology in 130+ nations. Notably, the two companies are almost identical and offer extensive Wi-Fi rental networks for vacation travelers and business. TepWireless is well-known in the United Kingdom while TravelWiFi has market leadership for Americans visiting France.

Travelwifi devices make internet connectivity easy by automatically finding the strongest available cell signal, irrespective of the country in which one lives. Using these devices, users can surf internet on their smartphones, laptops, and tablets via a fast, secure, and private mobile Wi-Fi network that can be shared with five devices.
According to Wallace Davis, CEO, DHI, said that Travelwifi would first be focused on Europe and North America travel, delivering portable Wi-Fi hotspots for both purchases as well as rental. It would offer unlimited internet, high bandwidth, and daily rate plans to consumers.
