Google Fi gets 5 travel upgrades, including upgraded Pixel network switching

Ahead of the summer travel season, Google Fi Wireless is boosting its international capabilities across five areas.

Google’s MVNO now offers “upgraded” dual cellular switching technology that means Pixel phones will find and connect to a “stronger available signal faster than ever before.”

International 5G service is now available in 22 new locations, including Morocco and Colombia, bringing the total to over 110 countries.

Google is bringing Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ across Europe and Asia in select locations, like London Heathrow Airport and other “popular hubs.” This premium Wi-Fi is “twice as reliable as our cellular network alone in indoor crowds.”

Similarly, VPN by Google now works in more locations, like Japan and South Korea.
