Internet Service While Traveling

NUIT has compiled a broad overview of Internet services available for NU faculty and staff traveling on business. Services can be charged to the University via P-card, expense report, or hotel bill.

Increasingly, hotels, airports, libraries, and coffee shops offer free or low cost Internet connectivity. Other options include:

• The purchase of a wireless card from a cellular telephone carrier that easily connects your laptop computer with the Internet:
  • Verizon
  • AT&T
    
    
• The use of free Wi-Fi hotspots or dial up telephone numbers that are provided by your home DSL provider. Check your provider's Web site for more information about this service:
  • AT&T
    
    
• Signing up for an individual service plan from another iPassConnect reseller. For a list of possible resellers go to http://www.ipass.com/partners/partners_resellerlocator.html .
  
  
• Sign up for an international service provider on an as-needed basis. Below are two suggestions, though you may wish to locate your own service provider:
  • Budget Dial-Up
  • iRove
    
    
• The purchase of wireless hotspot services:
  • T-Mobile Hotspot
    

This list should not be considered exhaustive as many services are readily available. Consider your needs and resources before making a long-term committment to one particular service.
