Jerusalem --- November 11, 2008...... For years, tourists and business people visiting Israel from New York, London and Paris to Los Angeles, Tokyo and China had one common challenge. These tourists, diplomats, journalists, investors and business people became disconnected from the rest of the world.

The difficulty of connecting to the Internet while traveling in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Eilat created a challenge. Over the past 4 years the Israel mobile Internet market has gone through significant and substantial changes, making tremendous progress over the past year.

The 3.5G cellular network is now active in Israel and more importantly, the wireless coverage has improved and created strong signals countrywide which allows downloading at speeds of up to 2.4 mbps.

Now that the speed and coverage issues have been improved in Israel the next challenge to be tackled is the availability of the wireless aircard's in Israel.

Until recently, one had no choice but to sign on to a 36 month commitment plan that meant thousands of shekels in charges. This has now changed.

Ronald Ronstien has been traveling to Israel for business, as well as family trips, for years. As the director of a large corporation, Ronald needs to be in constant contact with his offices.

“In the past I was tied down to the hotel Internet rooms, which made my trips difficult,” says Ronstien.
“On a recent trip to Israel, I was introduced to Yair Solow, the CEO of IL Wireless Communications Solutions in Jerusalem, Israel.

IL Wireless offers short and long term air card rentals in Israel. They were able to offer me a 3rd generation high speed wireless cellular air cards, which enabled me to be online at ADSL speeds while I traveled through Israel with my family. My trips to Israel are now more enjoyable and more productive as I am no longer limited to my hotel room or Internet cafes for Internet services.”

An aircard is a device for a laptop, PDA or cell phone that allows the user to connect to wide area wireless Internet access. They are connected to your mobile gadget using an available USB port, PCMCIA card slot or ExpressCard slot.

Ronstien said that IL Wireless also offers laptop computer rentals and complete VIP mobile office setup for individuals who don’t have their own laptop or prefer not to travel with a laptop and go through the hassle of getting through Israel security.

Many rental customers arriving at Ben-Gurion Airport and heading for business meetings in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Herzliya, Ra'anana or Jerusalem have been hesitant in the past to think about wireless cellular Internet solutions as they were charged for data use per MB, which made it an expensive solution. IL wireless, the leading rental company of its kind in the Israel market, offers an unlimited data package.

Their customers can stay online 24/7, downloading business presentations, music, movies and more limitlessly and more importantly from anywhere in Israel. All this while only paying cost-effective fees for the unlimited data package.

"Israel has earned the reputation for being the hi-tech research center of the world," says Solow.
"We have every major high tech organization here from Microsoft, Intel, Comverse, NICE Systems, Texas Instruments and HP to Cisco, IBM, Amdocs, AOL and Google. If we can create the world's most advanced software and hardware solutions, we should also be able to offer the finest, highest quality and most advanced Internet solutions to those who visit Israel."
