01The Origin

Built for the field.
Proven in the world.

DHI Telecom was founded in 2007 as a military Internet Service Provider — one of the first companies to bring fiber-optic connectivity to U.S. troops deployed in Iraq. That origin isn't branding. It's the foundation everything was built on.

In July 2017, DHI launched the Sapphire CloudSIM hotspot specifically for U.S. military personnel and DoD contractors who needed reliable, unthrottled, carrier-free connectivity anywhere in the world. By May 2018, Sapphire devices were available in AAFES Exchange military stores — the official retail network of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The civilian world took notice. In January 2019, SapphireGo made its public debut at the New York Times Travel Show — bringing the same military-grade reliability to every kind of global traveler.

“The same technology trusted by tens of thousands of U.S. troops — now in the hands of every global traveler.”

02The Technology

One device. Every network.

CloudSIM is the technology that makes SapphireGo different from every other hotspot on the market. It behaves like having hundreds of SIM cards pre-installed — without carrying a single one.

Auto-Signal Switching

CloudSIM automatically selects the strongest network across 300+ global partners.. No manual configuration. No SIM swaps. No carrier negotiations.

No Roaming Charges

Pay for data, not for borders.. CloudSIM eliminates international roaming fees entirely — the same plan works in your home country and across 130+ others.

Private & Secure

Password-protected personal hotspot.. Military-grade security protocols. Your signal, your network, your data — not shared, not exposed.

Consistent Speed

No throttling.. Full speed from the first byte to the last. CloudSIM was engineered for troops who couldn't afford a slow connection — and it shows.

“Like having hundreds of SIM cards pre-installed — without carrying a single one.”

Deployed with U.S. troops

From the beginning, SapphireGo was built for the most demanding connectivity environments on earth — forward operating bases, remote installations, and international deployments where carrier coverage is unreliable or nonexistent. Over 80,000 U.S. military service members have relied on Sapphire devices.

Official distribution through AAFES Exchange military stores since May 2018 means Sapphire devices meet the standards required to reach every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces through the official military retail network.

Now for every traveler

The technology developed for troops doesn't get watered down for civilians. The same CloudSIM core, the same carrier-switching intelligence, the same no-throttle performance — now available to anyone who travels internationally and demands reliable connectivity without roaming fees or carrier lock-in.

From journalists and humanitarian workers to business travelers and digital nomads — SapphireGo brings mission-grade reliability to every kind of global adventure.
