Heading out on vacation or a business trip? The right tech prep can save you a ton of money, time, and headaches overseas.
1. Communication Solutions: eSIM
Say goodbye to expensive roaming packages
If your device supports eSIM, don't buy a package from your local carrier. Use apps like Airalo or Holafly to buy a local data package at rock-bottom prices before you've even landed.
2. Data Security on the Road
🛡️ Never log into your bank on airport Wi-Fi!
Public networks are a hacker's paradise. If you must work or perform sensitive actions, use a personal VPN or a hotspot from your mobile phone.
3. Must-Have Gadgets for Your Bag
International power adapter: Invest in an All-in-one adapter that also includes fast USB ports.
AirTag / SmartTag: Put one inside your suitcase. You wouldn't believe how reassuring it is to see your suitcase really is on the plane with you.
Power Bank: A must for long flights and days of intensive GPS navigation.
4. Time-Saving Apps
Google Maps Offline: Download the destination map for use without internet. It'll save you in areas with weak reception.
Google Translate: Use the camera option to translate menus and signs in real time.
Flying to work remotely?
Make sure your security setup (VPN, MFA) is properly configured before you fly. The Ornet IT team is here to prepare the infrastructure for working safely from anywhere in the world.
