Preparedness isn't just about what's in your pantry anymore — it's about what's keeping you connected.
We all know the basics: food, water, flashlights. But being prepared in 2025 looks different from what it did even five years ago. Work meetings happen on Zoom. Kids submit homework through portals. Bills get paid through apps. Losing internet isn't just annoying anymore — it's actually a problem.
The new wave of "digital preppers" isn't trying to live off the grid. They're just making sure that when the grid hiccups, life can keep moving.
What Actually Matters Now
We still think of generators and emergency kits when someone says "prepper." But the real essential today is something you can't see: connectivity.
Here's what people who rely on the internet (so, basically everyone) are adding to their backup plans.
Power Banks That Do More Than Charge
Devices like the Solis Go, Solis Hero, Solis Pro, and Solis Edge aren't your average power banks. Sure, they charge your stuff. But they're also Wi-Fi hotspots.
So when your power cuts out, you're not just keeping your phone alive — you're staying online. That client call? Still happening. Is that assignment due at midnight? Getting submitted. Checking in with family? No problem.
Each one has its own thing going for it:
Solis Go, your travel buddy: power and global Wi-Fi for people who work on the move.
Solis Hero, super light, super portable. Built for people who are always on the go.
Solis Pro, the heavy lifter. Handles all-day video calls and streaming without breaking a sweat.
Solis Edge is simple and light. 5000 mAh battery, works in 140+ countries. Does what you need without the extra.
Think of them as your digital life insurance policy.
Wi-Fi That Just... Works
Here's the cool part: Solis devices use something called Virtual SIM technology (vSIM from SIMO. What that means in regular English: they automatically find and connect to the strongest network around. No fiddling with SIM cards, no surprise roaming charges, no setup headaches.
So when your home internet drops, you stay online. When campus Wi-Fi crashes during finals week, you're covered. The same device works in different cities without any extra steps.
For people working remotely or studying online, this matters. It's the difference between missing a deadline because your internet died and actually getting your work done. And if you're thinking long-term about preparedness, you can always reach the people you need to go — even when regular networks are overwhelmed.
A Backup Router for When Things Go Sideways
Power outages happen. Internet outages happen. But with the Solis Hub, you don't have to go offline when they do.
It's basically a smart 4G LTE router that kicks in automatically when your regular internet connection drops. Uses that same vSIM tech, so it just finds the best signal and connects — no SIM card needed (though you can add one if you want a backup to your backup).
Whether you're running a small business from home, in back-to-back virtual meetings, or cramming for exams, the Hub makes sure you stay online. It's like having a safety net you never think about until you really need it.
The Small Stuff: Offline Prep
One more thing: download what you might need. Google Drive, Spotify, YouTube — they all let you save stuff for offline access. Grab your important files, study materials, and maybe a few playlists to keep you sane.
Pair that with a Solis device and you've got most scenarios covered. You can upload work from a coffee shop, keep studying during a blackout, or stay productive when your regular internet is flaky. The small prep work makes a difference when things go sideways.
Why Staying Connected Actually Matters
Emergencies used to be mostly physical things. Now? They're digital too.
Lose your connection and you might lose access to:
- Breaking news and emergency alerts
- Your work tools and team communication
- Online classes and course materials
- Cloud-based security cameras
- Important medical or emergency information
Connectivity isn't a nice-to-have anymore. For a lot of us, it's essential.
With something like Solis, you can work, study, and just live your life knowing your internet connection can handle whatever gets thrown at it.

That's really what this is about. Because these days, being ready means staying connected.
