The JourneyXTR 4G/LTE Router and Wi-Fi Extender helps RV travelers solve next-level connectivity needs by offering a built-in multi-carrier 4G/LTE hotspot with award-winning data plans or by connecting to a nearby public or private Wi-Fi network, all in a single device.

Pace International launches the new TravlFi JourneyXTR 4G/LTE Router & Wi-Fi Extender

Introducing the NEW JourneyXTR Router from TravlFi!

The JourneyXTR 4G/LTE Router and Wi-Fi Extender is the latest connectivity product to launch under the TravlFi™ brand, owned and operated by Pace International, located in Rochester, MN. The product helps RV travelers solve next-level connectivity needs by offering a built-in multi-carrier 4G/LTE hotspot with award-winning data plans or by connecting to a nearby public or private Wi-Fi network, all in a single device.

 This powerful router gives customers ultimate flexibility when they want to connect to the internet from the road. Like its award-winning predecessor, the TravlFi Journey1, the JourneyXTR automatically finds and connects to the strongest cellular data provider in the area, without the need to add or use a SIM card. RVers can connect to the internet within minutes by setting up a TravlFi data plan either online or by calling Pace International. If they’d prefer to use a nearby public or private Wi-Fi network instead, the router can be switched over to act as a Wi-Fi extender to broadcast a Wi-Fi signal to their devices inside the RV. Additionally, the product has a SIM card slot that allows customers to use their own cellular provider if they choose. Optional external cellular and Wi-Fi antennas can be added for a stronger signal from outside of the RV as well. The product also features WAN (Wide Area Network) and LAN (Local Area Network) ports, which give the customer the ability to connect to devices either wirelessly, or with ethernet cables. 

 “This product really gives our customers the ability to get connected to the internet on their own terms. We’ve worked hard to simplify the process for them,” said Sam Schell, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Pace International.

Today’s RV travelers are often on the road for long periods of time, which means they’re working, streaming entertainment, gaming, or video conferencing. Often, travelers are battling data caps and throttling, or based on their location, experiencing connection issues. The JourneyXTR can help solve these issues with multiple ways to get online.

All TravlFi products also include remote support assistance on every device using their service. Pace International is well known for supporting RV customers with a Rochester, Minnesota-based call center that is open 7 days a week to help with product questions or tech support. TravlFi subscribers have access to this support year-round at no cost.  For more information, visit www.Paceintl.com/mobile/travlfi, or call 1-800-444-PACE.

New from Pace International - The TravlFi™ JourneyXTR 4G/LTE Router and Wi-Fi Extender

Pace International’s TravlFi™ Journey1 Wi-Fi Mobile Hotspot was named product of the year at the RV Industry Association’s (RVIA) Aftermarket Conference in San Antonio, Texas. 

Pace International’s TravlFi Journey1 Wi-Fi Mobile Hotspot is Named RVIA Aftermarket Product of the Year

Rochester, MN, Release: August 22, 2022. For Immediate Release

The RVIA is comprised of more than 400 member companies from OEMs to aftermarket suppliers with the goal of supporting a great parts and accessory purchasing experience that will benefit supply chain members and the RV consumer. From among 40 entries from major suppliers in the RV industry, Pace International’s TravlFi Journey1 device was named Product of the Year.

“It’s truly an exciting time for us and we are very optimistic about where TravlFi is headed in the RV industry,” said Tim Deutsch, EVP of Sales. “Our team has put years of hard work into developing TravlFi to fill a need for the RV customer, and we are ecstatic about earning the Product of the Year award. We look forward to capitalizing on this national recognition to help RVers across the country stay connected.”

The TravlFi Journey1 Wi-Fi LTE Mobile Hotspot has made it easy for RVers and travelers to stay connected with mobile, pay as you go internet. One of the most appealing features of the Journey1 is that its virtual SIM technology is designed to automatically find and connect to the best possible signal among the major cell carriers. This is particularly useful considering that RVers are constantly moving around, and certain carriers are stronger than their rivals in various parts of the country. 

Customers also benefit from TravlFi’s flexible high-speed pay as you go data plans, ranging from two gigabytes to 800 gigabytes, which is enough data to run an entire household on in a month, let alone an RV. And if a subscriber finds that they need more, or less data, they can change their data plan without penalty.

Launched in the last quarter of 2021, the TravlFi Journey1 was also recognized as the 2022 RV Pro “Best New Product Award”, as well as the RV Business “RISE Award” in the aftermarket category.

Pace International (Pace), announced its 50th anniversary as a nationwide hardware and content solutions distributor for the telecommunications industry.

Pace International Celebrates Its 50th Anniversary

Rochester, MN, Release: February 22, 2022. For Immediate Release

In 1972, after acquiring The Lew Bonn Company, one of the first companies in the country to distribute electronic products (and at the time his employer), Jim Deutsch established what is now known as Pace International in his hometown of Rochester, Minnesota. Fifty years later, Pace is successfully operating three business segments and quickly growing. 

“I think my grandfather, Jim Deutsch, would be proud of our culture and what the employees at Pace have built over the past 50 years,” said Tim Deutsch, EVP of Sales. “I think most would agree that Pace is an enjoyable place to work and we look forward to doing what is best for our customers and being a good partner. The employees at Pace are truly a special group and make it fun to do what we do. There is certainly plenty to celebrate.” 

From the early days of the organization, Pace began as an electronics distributor focused primarily on providing small town TV retailers and electronics companies with the inventory needed to fill their stores. Today, the organization maintains that unity with over 100 company members and thousands of relationships with operators, integrators, commercial, retail, and RV industry customers world-wide.

“What an honor it is for us to have served our customers for 50 years,” said Deutsch. “The telecommunications industry continues to change at a rapid pace, and with 5G on the horizon, each day is more exciting than the last. Our Team has put us in position to continue to grow and meet the current and future needs of our customers. It is a very exciting time for us and our industry!”

Pace has always been involved in connecting people to their devices. That is proven with their recent launch of TravlFi. Developed by Pace, the product and service combination connects the RV and off-grid travel market to the internet through a hotspot that spans multiple carriers with one device and one plan.

The Pace team consists of experienced business leaders, in-house marketing, software developers, IT experts, and a large in-bound customer and technical support team. In addition, Pace’s on-site warehouse is operated by a resilient management team backed with warehouse support personnel.
