As we work online running our software development business remotely,internet is essential to allow us to travel full time. In this handbook, we share everything we've learned about assembling a mobile internet arsenal that is balanced for your budget and needs for connectivity. We base this off our extensive real world experience of navigating the varying options and frustrations as full time RVers since 2006.The book covers cellular, WiFi, satellite, HAM, cable/DSL, boosting, hints & tricks, managing bandwidth and most importantly - setting your expectations for what life on the road with mobile internet is like. Information you need to know to help understand your options and build your own arsenal to suit your needs.This handbook is geared specifically towards US based internet options, and does not specifically cover international travel. And more precisely, it is geared towards frequent or full-time RVers and road warriors, although frequent US travelers will probably find plenty of useful information too. Our aim with the book is not to provide a shopping list of gear to go purchase, but rather give you enough information to build your own unique mobile internet arsenal. While we do cover specific products, we do not have financial interest in any of the devices, services or products mentioned. We are frequently referred to as 'tech-Switzerland', and simply share our opinions and experiences. This book is written to help those with minimal tech backgrounds to geeks like us; and for folks who just need a little e-mail & surfing, to fellow bandwidth junkies.Chris and Cherie each have decades of combined technology experience. Chris has worked in the mobile technology industry for over a decade and holds degrees in computer engineering and science. Cherie has been a location independent software developer since the mid-90s. And together we have been on the road working remotely full time since 2006. Our home on wheels is a living laboratory for mobile technology, and we are delighted to share our experience with you.
