If a new venture capital investment is an indication of what’s to come next on Lenovo Internet devices, it’s personal Wi-Fi hotspots to go, keeping users connected as they travel the world.

San Francisco-based Skyroam has raised a $23.5 million series B round of funding, and Lenovo Group’s venture capital arm is the lead investor.

“This little gadget is perfect for anyone who is always on their phone and wants to stay in touch with friends and family while traveling abroad,” declares website BudgetTravel.com.

Right now, startup Skyroam sells a device, but who’s to say the tech won’t be embedded someday?

The San Francisco-based startup says it will license its secret sauce – “vSIM technology” – to device manufacturers.

By the way, Skroam also says its tech is secure. Wi-Fi hotspots are hardly the safest for remote login.

What esle does Skyroam promise?

  • Just turn it on and get unlimited mobile data access in over 60 countries.
  • Fast
  • Stay connected wherever you travel using 3G/4G connection and local data routing.
  • Using a secure, encrypted connection, keeps your data safe. Go ahead, browse wherever you want!

Other investors include CBC Capital, GSR Ventures, Vickers Venture, and other undisclosed “private” investors.

The devices come with pre-loaded five-day passes for $125.

So why did Lenovo invest?

“We are making a strategic investment in Skyroam, not only because they are the clear leader in the mobile Wi-Fi segment in China, but also because Skyroam’s vSIM technology can enable Lenovo’s mobile devices to better serve our global customers and deliver mutual benefit to both companies in the mobile Internet market,” said Lenovo Senior Vice President, Qiao Song in a statement.

Lenovo has banked its future on the world of Internet-connected devices, and Skyroam says offers travelers “freedom to connect in 65 countries without dealing with hurdles such as expensive roaming charges, unlocking phones, unsecure public Wi-Fi, complicated metered data schemes, or fiddling with local SIMs or SIM stickers.”

vSIM refers to its patented virtual SIM technology that Skyroam says “automatically connects you to a local carriers for unlimited daily usage.”

“We believe people should be able to travel the world freely and connect all their devices without worrying about costs,” said Skyroam CEO Jing Liu. “Our hotspot gives on-demand coverage in over 60 countries at very competitive prices, making us the best and easiest way to get online when traveling for business or leisure. Now’s the time to build on our technology platform and strategic partnerships to better serve travelers with the ultimate global connectivity solution.”
