Why smart technology on the go makes all the difference

The mobile workspace goes far beyond just a laptop. Whether it’s dealing with piles of paperwork or unstable hotel Wi-Fi – the right equipment doesn’t just help you cope, it empowers you to take control. Those who rely on well-designed mobile companions gain independence, flexibility, and efficiency – even outside traditional office environments. And they impress clients and business partners with technology that performs when it matters most.

Five exceptional must-haves at a glance

Here are five products that make every business trip smarter, more productive, and more enjoyable.

1. Portable Monitors
More overview, better multitasking, greater flexibility: portable monitors turn any location into a productive workspace – and are still surprisingly little known. No external power source is needed. A single USB-C cable is enough – power and video signal run through the same connection. Especially practical in hotels, at trade fairs, or during longer stays on site.
2. Mobile Document Scanners
Contracts, receipts, or meeting notes – despite digitalization, paper remains part of our business routine. Mobile document scanners are compact and wireless. When working in the field or meeting clients, they allow you to instantly create PDFs and capture them with OCR text recognition for seamless integration into your CRM or document management system. Ensuring everything is right where it belongs.
3. USB-C Multi-Hubs
Anyone working on the go quickly encounters the connectivity limits of modern laptops. A USB-C multi-hub replaces several adapters at once – for HDMI, LAN, USB-A, SD cards, or headphone connections. Especially valuable for presentations, data transfers, or working with peripherals. Models with power passthrough even allow you to charge your device while you work.
4. Mobile Wi-Fi Routers
Overloaded hotel networks or insecure public hotspots are all too common. Mobile routers with SIM cards provide a reliable, secure internet connection via an integrated SIM card using 4G – and in some cases even 5G – networks. Save yourself and your mobile project teams from expiring guest logins, password hassles, and sluggish connections.
5. Powerbank with Power Delivery (PD)
A conventional power bank is sufficient for smartphones or headphones. Models with USB-C Power Delivery and 60+ watts, however, provide enough power to charge a business laptop on the go – no outlet needed. Especially practical during long workdays, train rides, or trade fairs. Charge all your devices with a single, high-performance power bank.

When technology runs smoothly, so does business

Business trips are most successful when the technology in the background works reliably – discreetly yet powerfully. Choosing the right devices lays the foundation for focused work on the go. This way, your tools stay in the background, and your attention remains where it matters most: on your business.

Business Trip: Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

1. How should I plan my tech setup for a business trip with an unpredictable itinerary?

It’s best to prepare a “backup kit” with essential accessories (e.g., adapter, USB-C/HDMI cable, charging cable) and keep everything organized in a dedicated tech pouch or backpack compartment. This helps avoid situations where you’re missing the right cable or connector on the spot.

2. When is it worth investing in travel-specific equipment, and when is a basic setup enough?

If you travel frequently - for example, more than 4–5 times per year - investing in higher-quality gear (like a strong power bank, reliable hub, or travel router) pays off. For occasional trips, a simple kit (charger, adapter, necessary cables) is usually sufficient.

3. How can I keep my data secure when working outside the office (e.g., in hotels or airports)?

  • Use a VPN or secure connection, especially on hotel or public Wi-Fi.

  • Consider encrypted or password-protected storage when handling sensitive documents.

  • Back up important files before the trip and regularly during your travels.

4. How should I handle slow or unstable internet during a trip?

Carry a mobile Wi-Fi router or have a data plan ready for hotspotting. Download key files in advance so you can work offline if needed. Also check if your hotel offers high-speed or premium Wi-Fi options.

5. What should I do if I realize during a meeting or presentation that I don’t have the right port or cable?

Before the trip, verify what type of connection you’ll need (HDMI, USB-C Alt Mode, DisplayPort) and bring the appropriate adapter or a universal multi-hub. It’s often best to have a versatile hub plus a couple of extra cables.

6. How does proper tech packing improve travel comfort, and what should be kept separate?

Use a backpack or travel bag with a padded laptop section and protective sleeves for devices. Keep your cables organized (e.g., using cable organizers or pouches), making airport security checks and unpacking much smoother.

7. What should I consider when choosing a power bank for laptops and other devices while traveling?

Look for a power bank with USB-C Power Delivery (PD) of at least 60W so it can charge a laptop, not just a phone. A capacity of 20,000 mAh or more is ideal for working a full day without access to outlets.
