FON, The Largest Wi-Fi Community In the World, Signs Important Licensing Agreement with Wireless Software Specialist Spotigo



    The German company Spotigo has successfully signed an important
    licensing agreement for its technically leading Wi-Fi Smart Client.
    The Spain based company FON - the largest Wi-Fi Community in the world
    - will be using the Spotigo technology to substantially improve the
    way its Community members and customers can access its Wi-Fi
    Community. Spotigo's technology will be provided by FON under the name
    of the "FON Wi-Fi Connection Manager" and distributed to all of its
    users and Community members around the world.

    The FON founder and CEO Martin Varsavsky states:" With this
    Connection Manager FONs users will be able to detect and connect to
    FON Access Points, Fonspots, automatically. Simply staying or passing
    within an area that has coverage of a Fonspot will be enough to
    automatically get a mobile broadband connection established. We have
    chosen Spotigo as a partner in this project because of their deep
    technical know-how and comprehensive Wi-Fi related product
    experience."

    Daniel Prumers, Managing Director Marketing & Sales and co-founder
    of Spotigo explains: "Spotigo develops excellent Wi-Fi products and we
    see this confirmed by the fact that the largest Wi-Fi Community of the
    world has chosen us as their provider." Spotigo is providing its
    technology to FON for usage on Microsoft Windows devices and Symbian
    Smartphones. Further releases for other platforms are currently in
    development.
