  • Google has announced the “Super Network,” a next-generation communication feature for its MVNO service “Google Fi Wireless” in the US that automatically switches between two major US 5G carrier networks and millions of secure Wi-Fi hotspots.
  • Utilizes “MEP (Multiple Enabled Profiles)” technology, which allows multiple eSIM profiles to operate simultaneously under a single eSIM contract.
  • Expansion of “Wi-Fi Auto Connect+”, an encrypted public Wi-Fi connection feature, and the introduction of “Ask Fi” to the “Google Fi Wireless” app.

On Tuesday, November 10, 2026 local time, Google announced the “Super Network”—a next-generation communication feature now available on its US MVNO service “Google Fi Wireless” that automatically switches between two major US 5G carrier networks and millions of secure Wi-Fi spots.

The “Super Network” on “Google Fi Wireless” is rolling out sequentially, starting with Google Pixel devices running “Pixel 9” and later. Furthermore, eligible plan users can benefit from top-tier domestic connection speeds and extensive coverage at no additional cost. I’m jealous.

Additionally, Google is expanding “Wi-Fi Auto Connect+”, which seamlessly and automatically connects users to secure Wi-Fi even in crowded places like airports and commercial facilities, and introducing “Ask Fi,” a new Google AI-powered support agent, to the “Google Fi Wireless” app.

The biggest feature of the “Super Network” on “Google Fi Wireless” is its ability to automatically and in real-time switch between two major US 5G networks depending on connection conditions.

This utilizes “MEP (Multiple Enabled Profiles)” technology, which enables multiple eSIM profiles to run simultaneously under a single eSIM contract. Even if the signal on the primary network weakens or drops, the connection instantly shifts to the secondary network in the background, minimizing communication interruptions in hard-to-reach areas like highways and rural roads.

That’s right—a “Google Fi Wireless” eSIM allows you to register on multiple devices with just a single contract, enabling you to switch between them or run them simultaneously. It is similar to the “shared SIM” services mainly offered by Japanese MVNOs, but while “shared SIMs” assign a separate phone number to each SIM (eSIM), “Google Fi Wireless” fully supports registering and simultaneously operating multiple devices using just a single phone number.

Note that this automatic 5G network switching feature via the “Super Network” is available on Google Pixel devices from the “Pixel 9” series onward, provided “Google Fi Wireless” is enabled via eSIM and other carrier SIMs are disabled. It is also available during international roaming at no extra cost.

Expansion of “Wi-Fi Auto Connect+”

To ensure comfortable communication even in crowded indoor facilities such as airports and shopping malls, “Google Fi Wireless” is expanding its enhanced public Wi-Fi connection feature, “Wi-Fi Auto Connect+,” as part of the “Super Network.”

“Wi-Fi Auto Connect+” automatically connects you to millions of high-quality Wi-Fi spots across the US without requiring you to open settings screens or log in manually. While public Wi-Fi spots often raise security concerns, “Wi-Fi Auto Connect+” automatically encrypts your connection via the “Fi Virtual Carrier Network (VCN),” ensuring peace of mind regarding security.

“Wi-Fi Auto Connect+” will be rolled out sequentially to Google Pixel devices starting with the “Pixel 5a,” as well as Samsung devices running “One UI 9” or later and select Motorola devices. It is also available during international roaming at no additional cost.

“Ask Fi,” a new personal support agent powered by Google AI “Gemini,” will be integrated into the “Google Fi” app.

“Ask Fi” is a feature that provides precise support via chat whenever you need it, whether you are diagnosing connection issues or asking questions about your bill.
