Rovair Saved Me
Our company made a large acquisition of small scattered Oil wells located in the Appalachian Mountains. It was my job to perform due diligence at each site, download the data that had accumulated at each one for the past year and get it back to our main office fast since the selling price on the deal hinged on the data I was providing.
Before I packed my bags and headed east I thought about how these large raw data was going to get back using my normal wireless LAN card in my laptop. It worked fine for most road trips, checking email etc. but this was a data acquisition job involving large files or multiple year long logs. I would be spending most of my time in Starbucks drinking mucho lattés waiting for this stuff to work its way into the net. I decided I needed a robust data connection not a browser speed link.
Not wanting to re-invent the wheel I wondered about borrowing someone’s wireless mobile broadband card. But no one who had one was able to give it up for the two weeks I would need it in the field. If you use one of these devices you usually need it all the time, except me. I assumed that there might be many others for whom Broadband access was a project oriented need. Wouldn’t it be nice if instead of trying to borrow one I could just find a wireless card rental. A quick Internet search led me to the answer rovair.com.
Not only did they have wireless card rental but they had full blown 3G data card rental for as low as $5.95 a day. While I was pondering the need for such a service Rovair had not only provided the solution, but had a no-nonsense easy to order website ready to take my order and send an activated wireless card rental to my door with expedited delivery. I placed an order and went back to packing my suitcase. My airline tickets and the data card rental, Internet day pass would both be arriving via traceable delivery at my office with a day to spare.
