IMPORTANT --- How much data will you need each month? Makes a huge difference in options and/or cost.
MORE IMPORTANT --- Before buying into any service, check coverage in the areas you plan to frequent. Nothing will be more disappointing than setting up a nice 20gb service and finding you have no signal at your favorite camping spot!
If Mellenicom will work where you're going, its a terrific option. If 20gb will suffice (little or no video streaming), a Mellenicom hotspot and plan is your best bet. Simple and effective.
If you want the ability to select between several internet sources, like aircards, multiple hotspots, campground wifi, etc...., then investing a Wifi Ranger type setup may make sense for you. All of your devices can be set up to connect to the WFR and you can select which source the WFR is then connected to. Very flexible, but still a bit of a work in progress.
