LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mobile Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global wireless and mobile market, today announced that Celitech, the world's 1st digital-only connectivity platform, has been selected as winner of the "Overall Wireless Broadband Solution of the Year" award in the 2019 Mobile Breakthrough Awards program.
As mobile penetration tops 67 percent of the global population, currently 1 billion international travelers carry at least one device (e.g. smartphone, tablet or a wearable) that is useless without internet connectivity, particularly cellular data. Celitech's connectivity platform enables international travelers to get cellular data at affordable prices through a web app or API. The Company works with online travel platforms to enable the convenient bundling of cellular data with travel services like flights and hotel packages.
"Can you imagine life without mobile apps or connected smartphones? Well that's the case for over 700 million international travelers who mostly turn off data roaming because it's pricey and don't get a local SIM card because it's inconvenient," said Ahmad Al Fares, Founder & CEO, Celitech. "Think of your digital maps, ride-sharing, mobile banking, social media, messaging and browsing apps; they are all useless without internet access. Celitech works with leading travel service providers to offer international travelers affordable and on-demand cellular data. We are thrilled to receive this industry recognition and we are extremely proud to accept this 2019 Mobile Breakthrough Award."
The mission of the annual Mobile Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a range of mobile and wireless technology categories, including Cloud Computing, Mobile Management, Wireless and Broadband, Mobile Analytics, IoT and Smart City and many more. All nominations were evaluated by an independent panel of experts within the wireless industry.
"In an 'always-connected' world, Celitech's data packages immensely enhance the traveler journey and enables new experiences while away from home," stated James Johnson, managing director, Mobile Breakthrough. "We are pleased to recognize Celitech as one of our 2019 Mobile Breakthrough Award winners and we extend a hearty congratulations to the entire Celitech team on their innovation in the mobile industry and the resulting well-deserved success."
Celitech service is available online as a web app and can be directly downloaded to smartphones, tablets and laptops. International travelers with eSIM-capable devices can now book affordable connectivity in over 45 countries, with additional 80 countries going live by March 2020.
