Major US Bank Signs Deal with iPass for Global Mobile Connectivity
August 29 2018 - 9:48AM
iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), a leading provider of global mobile
connectivity and location technology, today announced that it has
been chosen by a major multinational, US-headquartered financial
services company to provide global wireless connection management
and Wi-Fi connectivity for its employees. Following a successful
pilot program, the deal will keep bank employees automatically
connected to the best data network available, ensuring productivity
and security while managing costs.
Using iPass SmartConnect on corporate-issued devices, the bank’s
employees will be able to seamlessly and securely connect to
millions of iPass Wi-Fi hotspots, automatically transitioning back
to cellular when Wi-Fi is not available. The bank in turn will be
able to manage how its devices connect, optimizing performance and
costs. For example, the bank can automatically connect devices
inflight via iPass to reduce the impact of having employees pay
higher costs for inflight Wi-Fi on demand.
“This is a significant deal and further demonstrates the value
that iPass SmartConnect can provide to enterprise customers,” said
Patricia Hume, COO at iPass. “Enterprises want more than Wi-Fi
network access, and iPass SmartConnect delivers, giving them a
complete solution that provides more effective management of their
enterprise mobile workforce. We look forward to working with this
major US bank to keep its employees connected in the most efficient
and cost-effective way possible.”
