CINCINNATI, April 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Togo, part of TH2, a global technology-focused
joint venture between U.S.-based Thor Industries (NYSE: THO) and
New Zealand-based thl, is
collaborating with AT&T to offer exclusive 4G LTE connectivity
to U.S. recreational vehicles.
Togo Roadlink™ will bring the power of AT&T's 4G LTE network
to RVers in the U.S. for any make, model, or year of recreational
vehicle.
The Roadlink C2 connectivity app turns any RV into a powerful
Wi-Fi hotspot through advanced Wi-Fi hardware. Multiple tablets and
smartphones can be connected so people can stream their favorite
content, share vacation videos, stream music at the campsite, and
more. Or they can take their office on the road.
Today's announcement builds on the collaboration between
AT&T and Airstream, a Thor Industries subsidiary and maker of
the iconic silver bullet travel trailer. Airstream and AT&T
have teamed up to offer 4G LTE connectivity for any Airstream.
More than 19 million U.S. campers use RVs, according to the 2018
North American Camping Report supported by Kampgrounds of
America, Inc. RV Industry Association projects that total RV
shipments in 2019 will range between 475,500 and 444,500 units.
"Campers who value cell service and Wi-Fi on the road are able
to spend more days camping each year," said Togo president Dave
Simmons. "That's what Togo
is all about—giving people the opportunity to spend more time
enjoying the RV lifestyle. With reliable connectivity through
AT&T, Togo Roadlink™ will allow RVers to stay connected to
family, friends and co-workers back home."
"With Internet of Things connectivity, we're making it easier
for people to stay connected on the go and bring the conveniences
of home to just about anywhere, including in their homes, cars,
businesses and even connected RVs,"
said Chris Penrose, President,
Internet of Things Solutions at AT&T. "Our work with
Togo will enable more RV owners to
stay connected with family, friends and co-workers."
