Xcom Global, the Internet access rental service used by people travelling internationally to any of 195 countries, is making the move to include LTE connections in its plans. A deal between Xcom and Emobile will allow visitors to Japan to rent a Huawei GL01P hotspot and use the prevalent 75Mbps LTE connections in the country, with future plans to expand the option further afield.
XCom Global, which provides Internet access rental services to international travelers, has now revealed it has expanded its reach to 195 countries in total. The company will offer one 3G hotspot for accessing data in most of these countries. This expansion was made possible thanks to a newly-inked partnership with iPhone Trip.
XCom Global has begun offering US users traveling to Europe unlimited internet data access in over 40 European countries with a single SIM card. The Euro SIM card, in conjunction the company's Europe Travel Plan, costs $13 per day for a USB modem, and $15 per day for a mobile hotspot that works with multiple devices. The company claims this is the first such trans-European plan to be offered.
