HELIO today announced details for the Helio Hybrid. The Helio Hybrid combines a 3G card and a laptop's built-in Wi-Fi with easy software that switches between a nationwide 3G network, private and free Wi-Fi signals and a network of commercial Wi-Fi hot spots, all for one simple monthly fee.

The Helio Hybrid wireless connectivity package (Hybrid Connector software, a PCMCIA EV-DO card and a Data Connect membership for 3G and Wi-Fi hot spot roaming) releases members from the confines of wires and multiple paid hot spot logins, granting them freedom to access Internet services on-the-go. The package features an optimal combination of wireless connectivity with worldwide Wi-Fi roaming plus the power of speedy 3G.

Helio Hybrid users can easily manage their wireless connection to countless Wi-Fi hot spots and a nationwide 3G network. Provided software discovers and organizes available wireless connections including tens-of-thousands of free Wi-Fi hot spots worldwide, the over 55,000 commercial Wi-Fi hot spots in the Boingo Wireless network and 3G in more than 220 major U.S. markets - all at broadband speed.

"Helio members are always looking to stay connected to their world while they're out living life, whether on a mobile device, a laptop or both," said Sky Dayton, CEO, HELIO LLC. "By combining 3G and Wi-Fi access in a single package, we're giving them easy access to everything they care about without the hassle of multiple subscriptions and messy logins. This way Helions can text, surf, IM and do a little homework all at the same time."

Helio Hybrid also provides a searchable hot spot directory that is available offline for members looking to plan ahead. The Helio Hybrid card and Hybrid Connector software are free with a two year membership costing $85 per month.
