The iNomad is the world's first [pocket-sized 5G VPN router](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tl-wr3002x). It gives users access to high-speed encrypted Internet anywhere in the world due to its portable nature. The mini router converts 5G signals into WiFi 6 signals. Designed for travel purposes, the iNomad is a modern Internet solution.

Featuring a built-in VPD, users receive an unrestricted and [secure Internet connection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aries-x-proton-vpn-blanket), encrypted to protect personal data. While cell phone data plans provide a 5G internet connection when WiFi is inaccessible to create hotspots, its speed decreases when shared with other devices. The iNomad, on the other hand, provides full-speed Internet to all connected gadgets, including laptops, [iPads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hermix-nano), Smartphones, etc. This introduces the world to worldwide web surfing.
