Business Traveller Service 2.0. marks iPass’ transformation into a cloud company utilising a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model and automation techniques.
This transformation is said to significantly increase end user adoption for travellers with smartphones and tablets. The service aims to address the most fundamental shortcomings in current Wi-Fi offerings by providing cost-effective and convenient Wi-Fi access to over 2.7 million hotspots in airports, airplanes, hotels and public areas worldwide.
