433 airports, including 83 of the top 100 busiest by passenger volume, and more than 22,000 hotels and conference venues around the world.
Thousands of dial access points in more than 150 countries including multiple redundant network providers in thousands of cities to protect against single-provider outages.
Mobile data providers in the United States and Singapore are part of the iPass network, with additional providers being added around the world. Mobile data providers that are not part of the iPass network can also be accessed through the iPassConnect universal client which includes integration of dozens of mobile data cards.
Focus on Wi-Fi Connectivity
The popularity of Wi-Fi is growing wildly. And it's no wonder. Wi-Fi lets enterprise workers connect to the Internet and corporate network while they travel around town or around the world.
iPass integrates Wi-Fi connectivity as part of the iPass Mobile Office service. It lets mobile users obtain the productivity benefits of using public Wi-Fi hotspots while protecting corporate assets and maintaining policy-based control over access. Count on Mobile Office to make your Wi-Fi connectivity solution:
Simple. Wi-Fi connectivity is built right into the iPassConnect universal client, which includes automatic hotspot detection, automatic Wi-Fi card configuration, VPN Auto-Connect integration and enterprise AAA integration.
Enterprise Ready. To further ensure a hassle-free user experience, iPass certifies all Wi-Fi hotspots in its network. Wi-Fi hotspot providers are only made a part of the iPass network when they've exceeded iPass standards for service availability, connection quality and security solution interoperability.
Secure. Protect connections over public links with policy-based security. Secure credentials during the login process, all the way from the client to the enterprise. Enforce the use of VPNs, personal firewalls and anti-virus programs. And through the iPass Device Management service, automatically update end-user devices with the latest operating system patches and security applications before giving them corporate network access.
Cost-effective. Because iPass offers per-minute pricing across almost its entire network, you can avoid "day rate" charges for short user sessions. Our experience shows that your users can save an average of 60 percent per session. And for customers that want predictable costs for their Wi-Fi usage, iPass also offers unlimited flat-rate pricing in some regions.
