Lenovo is a well-equipped product known for its computers and smartphones like any other gadgets of original equipment manufacturer (OEM). But the company has launched a new mobile broadband service that would separate its devices to other competition.
Lenovo Connect will allow users to get mobile access to broadband around the world without the use of a SIM card, and it comes with a low-priced global roaming plan. That is to say, Lenovo is soon to see itself as a mobile virtual operator focusing on roaming purposes.
Lenovo Connect's rollout will be taking a slow pace, by first introducing the service to China this month offering users the LeMeng X3 smartphone and the MIIX 700 tablet. This would allow users to work the service in more than 50 countries.
Following the next quarter's launch in Middle East and Africa, Lenovo Connect will roll out on 45 countries in ThinkPad laptops seeking at a point where the service would reach 110 countries. While the European Union has decided to abolish mobile broadband charges around 28 countries bloc on June 2017, to its purpose of telecom operators to treat all internet traffic equally.
Lenovo has already began prepping on a Mobile Virtual Network Operators MVNO, and seemingly has reached 11 million customers, considering the company's smart move to separate a Windows laptop quality with Intel chips from another laptops, where a user will able to compare Lenovo's Android phones to other manufactured phones.
At the Mobile World Congress trade in Barcelona, the service was announced a few days before 3G and 4G licensing technology to implement Qualcomm's use to its device.
Lenovo has a reputable history dealing with corporate clients, where the Lenovo Connect would make sense to deliver its service to travelling business clients, in a way that it's good to decrease the amount of roaming bill and to keep a grip around Lenovo products.
