New Start-Up U-wifi Launches Affordable Internet Access Nationwide

Reimagines How Consumers Get Connected with a plug-and-play device, failover technology and a new way to reduce or potentially eliminate the monthly internet bill

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- U-wifi, a next-generation 5G home and business internet provider delivering fast, reliable whole-home Wi-Fi announced today launched its nationwide home and business internet service featuring a compact gateway device that fits in your hand, plugs into a standard electrical outlet and is designed to automatically connect to the strongest available 5G signal in the area with no technician, no installation and no complicated setup.

With today's launch, U-wifi is introducing a different approach to internet service, combining plug-and-play 5G connectivity, patent-pending consumer-controlled advertising credits and failover technology in an effort to make internet simpler, more flexible and more affordable. Standard service starts at $55 per month, but U-wifi is also introducing a new way for consumers to reduce that cost, potentially all the way to zero with FreeU™.

U-wifi Innovations Include:

• FreeU™ — Our mobile app designed to provide subscribers with monthly discounts through voluntary participation by watching ads in which one can reduce or eliminate your bill.
  
  
• ProtectU™ — a first-of-its-kind consumer 5G failover solution designed to provide reliable backup internet connectivity for households

U-wifi's Key Focus:

• Affordable, simple internet designed for budget-conscious households and businesses nationwide
  
  
• Connectivity for everyday life and support for telehealth services, students, job seekers, veterans, SNAP participants, and seniors impacted by ACP expiration

U-wifi's launch follows the company's recently announced strategic program with T-Mobile, combining T-Mobile's nationwide 5G wireless network with U-wifi's technology and affordability-focused initiatives. The startup has also been selected to participate in Plug and Play's Accelerator Program – Batch 6, connecting U-wifi with a global innovation platform that brings startups together with corporations, investors, and industry leaders.            

U-wifi has also partnered with NASCAR driver Jeb Burton, an early adopter of the technology, and will sponsor two race cars during NASCAR's O'Reilly's Auto Parts race at Talladega on October 24, bringing the new brand directly to consumers during one of NASCAR's largest race weekends.

"Internet is a necessity in our everyday lives, but getting connected is often more complicated and expensive than it should be. We created U-wifi to simplify the internet experience -- simply plug in the device and you are online, while giving consumers new ways to reduce what they pay for internet or eliminate their internet bill entirely. FreeU and ProtectU are examples of how we are approaching internet service differently and are reimagining the entire experience from start to finish by completely eliminating the need for a technician to come to your home, drill on your roof or elsewhere. Our multi-carrier indoor/outdoor home gateway provides automatic failover keeping you up and running with its ability to connect to all the major national 5G networks. Simply put, if the network fails, our gateway will find the next best network signal, keeping your internet working," said Donald Workman, CEO of U-wifi.

The company believes consumers are ready for a different approach to internet service — one that is simpler, more affordable, flexible and designed around the customer rather than traditional infrastructure.
