For on-the-go business professionals needing to file sales reports–or road-tripping families craving entertainment like online games, YouTube videos, and connecting on Facebook–CarFi is the answer!

TRU Technology
Wirelessly connect to the Internet when you want, wherever you want. TRU Technology is an innovation from Autonet Mobile that makes your in-car Internet experience a pleasurable one. As your car travels down the road at high speeds between cell towers, Autonet Mobile’s CarFi will keep you connected by managing your cell tower hand-offs seamlessly. Forget about dropped connections that often force you to restart your device and software; our solution provides you with a constant connection, so you never experience the frustration of having to resend an email attachment or watch a choppy YouTube video.

The Product
CarFi’s sleek form factor was designed to be easily installed in the trunk of your car or the cargo area of your SUV. An additional docking station for your other vehicle makes it easy to transfer CarFi from one vehicle to another.

The Service
We have partnered with the biggest carriers to provide you the monthly service that runs over both 3G and 2.5G cellular data networks to give you broadband speed and expansive coverage over the entire United States. Autonet Mobile has two monthly data plans to accommodate your needs. Our monthly plan includes 1 GB of data per month, and our plan includes 5 GB of data per month. See our chart below to find out what plan is best for you.

Why Autonet Mobile Is Such a Great Value
Autonet Mobile allows you to connect just about any Wi-Fi device you can think of to the Internet and at a fraction of the cost of a broadband card. Autonet Mobile only requires a one-year agreement, and the entry-level monthly service plan costs approximately 50% less than a wireless data card or MiFi.

With CarFi in Your Car, You Can:

Watch Online Videos in Your Car
You can spend hours online in the passenger seats entertaining yourself with millions of online videos. Thousands of videos are uploaded to YouTube every day. Why watch a DVD in the car when there’s always something new to watch online? Autonet Mobile’s TRU Technology makes watching videos online a great experience.

Play Online Games
Your kids won’t be asking “Are we there yet?” when millions of their favorite video games like Webkinz and Club Penguin are free to play online. If they don’t want to play any online games, they can always hook up their Wi-Fi-enabled gaming device, including the Sony PSP or Nintendo DS, to play against their friends who are miles away.

Listen to Internet Radio
With the Internet in your car, you will be able to stream your favorite online radio sites straight into your car! The best part is, Internet radio doesn’t have commercials, and it’s free. If your car has an auxiliary jack, just connect it to your streaming device to enjoy your favorite music!

Social Networking in the Car
Keep your social network updated with your laptop, netbook, or even the iPod touch, no matter where you travel. Imagine posting updates about every stop on your journey, or uploading your vacation photos with your digital camera and EyeFi SD card within seconds after they were taken.

Internet Outside of the Car, Too
CarFi lets you connect outside of your car. If you’ve stopped to camp for the night, or took a pit stop at a local cafe, CarFi will work in and around your vehicle so you’ll stay connected within a 150-foot radius of your car.

Professional Installation Recommended
Installernet has a network of Autonet Mobile-certified installers at thousands of locations across the country. To have CarFi installed by a certified installer, a separate Installernet install-card can be purchased for an additional fee. Installation of CarFi is relatively simple; the unit requires just four screws, a power, and a ground, and can be installed in any type of vehicle. A small percentage of Autonet Mobile customers choose to do the install on their own.
