Accuris Networks CONNECT SaaS Platform Enables Sitwifi to Leverage Passpoint-Enabled Devices and Roaming Partners
DUBLIN, February 13, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Accuris Networks' partner Sitwifi has enhanced their Carrier Wi-Fi network deployed in Mexico to support Passpoint (or Hotspot 2.0). This allows Passpoint-enabled devices such as the latest iOS and Android smartphones to seamlessly and securely connect onto any of Sitwifi’s hotspots.
“Passpoint is the realization of simple, secure offloading onto our Carrier Wi-Fi network,” said John T. Walker, chief operating officer of Sitwifi. “The Accuris CONNECT platform has helped us monetize our Wi-Fi network and now has enabled us to easily migrate and benefit from this state-of-the-art technology. This will help us continue to expand our Carrier Wi-Fi business.”
We have enjoyed working with Sitwifi to successfully enable seamless roaming onto their network and are excited to see Sitwifi lead the market in becoming the first large-scale Passpoint Wi-Fi network in Mexico. Many of our Mobile Operator customers are ready to take advantage of Passpoint networks like Sitwifi's to offer the best possible user experience.
