CherryRoam unveils the first-ever 5G pocket travel WiFi in the Philippines. It’s expensive, but it’s a unique offering.

As countries are easing up restrictions, more people are looking forward to traveling these days. Having a travel pocket WiFi is a must-have, and while there are many offerings out there (including dedicated roaming SIM cards), CherryRoam has a very interesting offering with their 5G Travel Pocket WiFi.

Being the first of its kind in the Philippines–most travel pocket WiFi devices only offer up to 4G/LTE connectivity–the new offering from CherryRoam lets you enjoy 5G connectivity abroad with partner telcos in over 100 countries. One of the perks of 5G connectivity is significantly faster speeds–the device can handle download speeds of up to 2.5Gbps when applicable.

And while it is a 5G Pocket Travel WiFi, you have Instant Network Reselection that monitors the best possible connection so that you can enjoy seamless internet connectivity abroad. As a pocket device, the CherryRoam 5G can connect up to 16 devices, making it very handy especially if you travel with your friends.

You can monitor your network status through its 2.4-inch display, and it has a 5400mAh battery that can last hours of use while on the go–on top of being a power bank as well. Like previous models, this travel pocket Wifi can be managed through the dedicated CherryRoam app.

The CherryRoam 5G may be a bit pricey at Php 15,000, but that’s the going price for 5G-ready pocket WiFi devices. For comparison, Smart’s 5G Rocket WiFi will cost you almost Php 16k–and that one is limited for use in the Philippines.
