Sirocom has entered into a distribution
agreement between iPass and T-Mobile International to expand its remote
connectivity service Siroconnect. The deal allows Siroconnect subscribers to
access an additional 8,000 Wi-Fi hotspots across Europe,
including key business locations.
“As part of our VNO proposition,
collaborating with technology companies such as iPass to deliver a better
service is critical - it means our customers are already benefiting from the
world’s most extensive and secure managed Wi-Fi network. It also ensures
ongoing service upgrades – such as an additional 8,000 access points across Europe – allowing over 100,000 Siroconnect users easy
access to decision-making tools on the move, and greater flexibility and
agility across their business,” says Simon Rogan, CEO of Sirocom.
The expanded European Wi-Fi coverage
includes T-Mobile and T-Com HotSpot locations across the continent, including:
- Major airports including London Heathrow, London
Gatwick, Frankfurt, Cologne and Prague
- 3,500 hotels (Accor, Best Western, Ramada and Maritim)
- Over 400 Starbucks coffeehouses in the UK and Germany
- Major railway stations and on-board Wi-Fi on select
Southern Railways trains in the UK
- Motorway service areas and petrol stations (BP in the Netherlands, Texaco in the UK and over 200 service stations in Germany)
- Retail locations such as Borders Bookstores (UK) and
McDonalds restaurants in the Netherlands
Sirocom claims that T-Mobile's and
T-Com's Wi-Fi hotspots have passed through the iPass Enterprise Ready
certification program to ensure they are ready for use by Siroconnect
customers.
