SIMO, known for pushing the boundaries of mobile connectivity, has officially launched the Solis Edge — the company’s first ultra-portable 5G hotspot, designed to simplify and secure global internet access.

At just 137 grams, the Solis Edge fits easily into a pocket or travel bag, but its capabilities are anything but small. The device leverages SIMO’s virtual SIM (vSIM) technology to automatically connect to the fastest available local network in 140+ countries, eliminating the hassle of physical SIM cards, roaming fees, or unreliable public Wi-Fi.

“We developed this product as an answer to bulky mobile hotspots and the cost and complexity of international SIM cards,” explained Eric Plam, SIMO’s Chief Revenue Officer. “Our goal was to bring 5G connectivity down to something ultra-simple and truly portable.”

What the Solis Edge Brings to the Table

• Built-in data perks: Comes with 10 GB of global data preloaded and 1 GB of data per month for the device’s lifetime.
• Multi-device sharing: Wi-Fi 5 speeds with support for up to 10 devices — perfect for teams or families.
• Travel-proof durability: IP54-rated for dust and splash resistance.
• True portability: Weighs just 137g with a slim 167mm x 110mm frame.
• All-day power: Extended battery life plus USB-C charging.

Retailing at €146.95, the Solis Edge positions itself as a premium yet practical tool for frequent travelers, digital nomads, and business users who need reliable, carrier-agnostic internet access.

Where It Stands in the Market

SIMO’s entry with Solis Edge taps into a booming mobile hotspot market that’s evolving alongside eSIM adoption and global 5G rollouts. Competitors like Skyroam’s Solis Lite (4G-focused) and Netgear’s Nighthawk M6 Pro (heavier, higher price point) highlight the gap SIMO is targeting: lightweight, globally reliable 5G without complexity.

Industry reports from GSMA and IDC suggest that by 2030, more than 60% of mobile connections will use eSIM technology, and portable hotspots are expected to become a mainstream accessory for international travelers and remote workers. In that context, SIMO is betting on simplicity, bundling global data directly into the device, while others often require additional subscriptions or SIM swaps.

Unlike providers tied to specific carriers or regions, SIMO’s carrier-agnostic model could prove to be its strongest advantage — especially as demand grows for flexible, cross-border connectivity solutions in the age of hybrid work and “work-from-anywhere” lifestyles.

The Solis Edge is now available for presale on soliswifi.co, with shipping expected in the coming months.
