The Mobile Internet Handbook

 mobile_internet_handbook_ebook_cover

The Mobile Internet Handbook, by Chris Dunphy & Cherie Ve Ard of Technomadia.com, is a guide to mobile internet options for RVers in the USA. Cellular data, WiFi, satellite, HAM and more.

This book is written to answer questions like:

  • What is the best setup for my travel style, needs and budget?
  • Can I realistically work remotely from the road?
  • Can I stream movies and play online games over mobile internet?
  • What are the advantages & trade-offs of cellular data, satellite and public WiFi?
  • Do I really need all these boosters, antennas, gadgets and monthly plans?
  • What are the best deals out there for mobile internet? Are unlimited plans worth it?

Our Indiegogo Campaign to pre-purchase a copy of the new edition was fully funded (thank you!!!) – and we are now busy re-writing and greatly expanding the book. It’ll be professionally edited and illustrated too. We’re also creating a brand new resource center and premium membership service dedicated to keeping on top of this topic.
The new eBook is estimated to be released by early August 2014, with the print edition in September.
Join our The Mobile Internet Handbook Facebook Group to keep in the know as the book comes together!

Brand new chapters are being added, including:

Glossary of Terms
Installation Tips & Tricks

Antennas & Mounting Techniques (with guest author, Jack Mayer!)
Entertainment
Traveling into Canada & Mexico
Cellphones & Plans

 

You can still purchase the 2013 Edition – it’s been deeply discounted because it is a bit outdated now. But if you really need to get a jumpstart now, when combined with the articles & video above, it still has a lot of relevant content that can help get you started. But seriously, we highly recommend waiting for the new super awesome and greatly expanded/update 2014 Edition!

About ‘The Mobile Internet Handbook’

The table of contents!

In this handbook, we help you assess your internet needs, set your expectations to realistic, explain your options and assemble a solution that is balanced with your budget.

The book covers cellular data, public 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.

Preview Pages - Click to Enlarge!

This handbook 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, although we do make recommendations for different common scenarios, but rather explain the considerations so you can make the best choices for your situation.

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.

We each have decades of technology experience. Chris has worked in the mobile technology industry for over a decade, is formerly the ‘Chief Spy’ of Palm & PalmSource 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.

Reviews!

[pull_quote_center]This is by far the best explanation of the various options to stay connected on the road that I have seen. Cherie and Chris not only sort through all the complexities of the various communications options available, but they do it in a fashion that is entertaining, and easy to read and understand. If you are mystified about how to stay in touch ‘on the road’ then you need look no further than this ebook. An outstanding treatment of a complex topic! A ‘must read’ for non-techies, but even geeks will learn something new.[/pull_quote_center]- Jack Mayer, 5/30/2013 – www.jackdanmayer.com 

(Jack is considered a mobile internet guru, and like us, posts a lot about this stuff on his excellent Communications page.)

[pull_quote_center]The Mobile Internet Handbook that is an easy to understand resource for both new and experienced RVers, explaining the options available, the many different plans offered by the various cell phone companies, and how to get the most out of your equipment.[/pull_quote_center]

– Nick Russell, 6/4/2013 – www.gypsyjournalrv.com

(Nick publishes the Gypsy Journal, an awesome full time RVer’s resource that you should definitely check out!)

[pull_quote_center]Jim read most of it out loud to me and we both were nodding our heads all the way thru. You wrote the book that has been on our list to write for years. I’m glad somebody got around to it![/pull_quote_center]

– Chris Guld, 6/3/2013 – www.geeksontour.tv

(Chris and Jim Guld run GeeksOnTour, computer training materials for travelers. Great resource!)

[pull_quote_center]It’s well-written, easy-to-understand and goes through all the options for US-based travelers in a fun, clear way. I wish this thing had been out when we started RVing![/pull_quote_center]

– Nina Fussing – 6/5/2013 – wheelinging.wordpress.com

(Nina writes one of our favorite full time RVing blogs, check her out – her stories & photos from the road are very engaging!)

[pull_quote_center]All written in a friendly, easy-to-understand style that makes the whole subject much less intimidating than it might otherwise be.  In short, if you want to get online reliably while you’re on the road, this book can keep you from having to reinvent the wheel.[/pull_quote_center]

(Alan writes a column called ‘The Scenic Route‘ for Trailer Life, documenting his family’s life on the road.)
