As smartphone users now represent around 86.41% of the global population, currently more than six billion potential international travelers carry at least one smart device (such as a smartphone, a tablet, or a wearable), and those devices are useless without connectivity, particularly mobile connectivity. While technology has made most life scenarios easy in today’s modern world, pretty much anyone that travels internationally knows that finding a cellular plan that’s reliable when traveling abroad doesn’t come without expensive roaming fees. As a consequence, statistics suggest that approximately 65% of international travelers actually decide to turn off their mobile data because of these expensive fees. Enter CELITECH, a company that has developed a revolutionary one-click eSIM technology that allows international travelers to always have a cellular data plan at affordable prices through the use of an eSIM API, and controlled through a web App or mobile App. This new technology can reduce the typically high costs associated with data roaming charges.
WHO IS CELITECH?
CELITECH is a 5-year old company that has been developing a proprietary B2B (business-to-business) SAS (Statistical Analysis System) platform which works primarily with travel-related companies to help them offer branded international cellular data plans to their international traveling customers by using one-click eSIM technology that can be easily deployed on any web App or mobile App.
Essentially, the company offers a proprietary eSIM API that enables its partnered companies to generate new revenues and mobile engagement, which can ultimately help international travelers to save up-to 80% of costs and eliminating data roaming.
HOW DOES CELITECH’s eSIM PLATFORM WORK?
To put it simply, CELITECH offers travel companies and their international travelers a top-quality, unthrottled LTE/5G service by utilizing wireless networks globally. The company is able to achieve this by supercharging OTAs (online travel agencies) to conveniently bundle premium cellular data plans together with the other travel services that they already offer…such as flights and hotel packages. Currently, CELITECH has live deployments, signed agreements, or ongoing demos with 70 percent of the world’s top 20 OTAs.
CELITECH’s highly secure, US-hosted eSIM platform is activated using QR codes, for which it can then be displayed as their partnered travel companies’ co-branded cellular data eSIM service. This means that the data roaming service is then displayed as that travel company’s own cellular network (for example, displayed as Expedia on the top-left of your phone’s screen where you would traditionally see AT&T or T-Mobile).
That same co-branded cellular data eSIM service works by simply toggling between mobile networks on the back-end. CELITECH uses other area networks (such as AT&T, Vodafone, Telefonica, Orange, etc.) to offer their eSIM service. They sell B to B and B to C, and customer acquisition cost is facilitated and shared with their partnered travel companies, like Expedia, Travelocity, and American Airlines.
Below are the four primary features that differentiate CELITECH from their competitors:
- One-click, highly converting wireless service that can be easily deployed on any web App or mobile App for international travelers (note that this is also a SOC 2 Compliant platform with 24×7 support).
- World’s most secure, US-hosted eSIMs that can be activated using brandable 20-variable activation QR codes.
- Premium, unthrottled LTE/5G service utilizing 700+ wireless networks globally in 160 countries (including Tier 1 mobile networks such as AT&T, Vodafone, Telefonica, Orange, and more), which covers 99 percent of international traffic.
- Programmable / brandable eSIM network that can provide bundle-able mobile data to generate mobile engagement for all of CELITECH’s travel trade partners (400+ impressions per day).
