Overseas Wi-Fi Router Rental Service "GLOBAL WiFi"

Now including an ultra-high-speed 5G plan, a first in the Wi-Fi router rental industry

Initial rollout in popular Hawaii and mainland USA destinations

On July 1, Vision, Inc. (headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Kenichi Sano, hereafter "Vision"), which provides the "GLOBAL WiFi" service ( https://townwifi.com/), began offering an ultra-high-speed 5G plan with its overseas Wi-Fi router rental, a first in the industry.

In order to give customers full access to ultra-high-speed connectivity, the company is offering an "unlimited" plan with no limit on daily data communication volumes. The first countries and regions for the service will be the ever-popular destinations of Hawaii and mainland USA. There are plans to expand the service to Korea, China and other areas when preparations are complete.

Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, Vision has continued to provide uninterrupted services to those who need to travel abroad. Now that vaccinations are progressing, Vision is starting to hear from many people that they very much want to go overseas. Vision hopes that its GLOBAL WiFi "Ultra-high-speed 5G Plan" will prove beneficial to future overseas travelers.

As Vision continues to provide quality services and networks and expand service areas, the company is determined to offer easy-to-use mobile Internet connectivity around the world in order to contribute to business and sightseeing in the post-corona/living-with-corona world.

  • Precautions for use:
  • Plan provides data communications even without an 5G connection by switching to 4G.
  • 5G may be unavailable due to local circumstances; in such cases, 4G only is provided.
  • Because the plan uses the most up-to-date devices, customers can expect higher communication speeds compared to previous 4G devices, even when connecting via 4G.
    *Varies depending on location.
  • If data volumes become excessive, connectivity may be restricted depending on the policies of partner carriers at the destination country or our own assessment.
  • Since the stock is limited at the beginning of the service, those who wish to use it will be accepted by phone.
  • About Vision's "communication quality" standards and "signal audits"

Under "GLOBAL WiFi", Vision provides global high-speed mobile communications based on information updates and verifications conducted in collaboration with partner communications carriers around the world.

When adding coverage areas, communication methods, and plans, we also verify locations with "signal audits".

After verifying the extent of the coverage area (signal area), including dead spots and locations where signals are blocked by buildings, etc., we measure actual communication speeds. Only if these measurements meet our own communication standards do we begin purchasing communications bandwidth.

The verification is undertaken by our own overseas staff in cooperation with partner companies. There are many 5G communications carriers around the world, but at Vision, we only begin providing

service in areas that meet our quality standards.
