UCloudlink Group is ‘actively negotiating’ with WHSmith to expand the product solutions across Europe.

Customers to WHSmith-owned InMotion’s US airport shops will now be able to purchase products from mobile and data traffic sharing marketplace uCloudlink Group.

The Nasdaq-listed mobile technology firm has agreed a co-operation agreement with the airport-based technology retailer to stock the former’s GlocalMe Life and GlocalMe Mobile/Fixed Broadband series of products.

The GlocalMe Life range, which includes KeyTracker, RoamPlug, and Unicord, and GlocalMe Mobile/Fixed Broadband products are currently found in more than 30 major airports across the US and will now gradually roll out across InMotion’s North American airport retail estate.
