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.
