| Source: iPass
REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwire - September 1, 2009) - iPass, Inc. (NASDAQ : IPAS ), a leading
provider of enterprise mobility services, today announced that Telenet, a
leading provider of media and telecommunication services in Belgium, has
chosen iPass software and services to underpin its new TelenetConnect
offering. The new service will allow Telenet business customers to connect
to the iPass virtual network -- including the largest global Wi-Fi
footprint available today spanning 85 countries -- all for a single per
user flat rate price. iPass empowers Telenet to enhance their existing
network by offering a Wi-Fi alternative to travelling customers.
The iPass service allows carrier partners such as Telenet to deliver to
their customers a single, unified connection experience over multiple
access technologies and across multiple device types around the world. The
software, branded by Telenet as TelenetConnect, enables one-click or fully
automated access to the iPass global network, making it simple for users to
get connected regardless of network or location. The service also gives IT
managers control over how users connect to the Internet, visibility into
usage, and a single detailed invoice enabling customers to gain a far
greater handle on mobility expenses.
Until recently Telenet's service was only offered in Belgium and Luxemburg.
Partnering with iPass enables Telenet to extend their service allowing
mobile workers to get simple, fast and secure Internet access via the
world's largest global broadband roaming network for a fixed monthly fee.
Bart De Keyser, director mobile, carrier and marketing Telenet Solutions
said, "Collaborating with iPass allows us to offer our business customers
user-friendly subscription-based Internet access when traveling abroad.
This offering provides our customers with worldwide access to the Internet,
their e-mails, the corporate VPN, and iTunes -- regardless of whether they
use their laptop, PDA, smartphone or iPhone to connect. The service is
available without volume or time limit at a competitive monthly
subscription of 32 Euros."
The iPass hotspot footprint includes key business venues including 85 of
the world's top 100 busiest airports and a total of 553 airports worldwide
as well as over 23,500 hotels and conference venues.
"Our relationship with Telenet is a great example of how iPass technology
can prove to be the foundation of a flexible, cost-effective and widespread
mobility service," said René Hendrikse, VP EMEA, iPass. "iPass sees great
potential in our partnership with Telenet as we work together to improve
worldwide enterprise mobility services for Belgium based companies. This
solution will provide ubiquitous and secure connectivity when it's needed,
wherever it's needed."
