As a serial technology entrepreneur and travel zealot, Skyroam founder, Jing Liu, saw one aspect of travel as particularly challenging – accessing reliable mobile Wi-Fi at a reasonable cost. Inspired by a vision of a more connected world, in 2008 he developed and patented virtual SIM (vSIM) technology, enabling locally connected mobile data ondemand worldwide. Called the Skyroam Global Hotspot, some say it’s magic, but Skyroam says it’s a monumental achievement in software-based global connectivity. In addition to hotspots, Skyroam is partnering with manufacturers to embed its proprietary vSIM in millions of smartphones.
