Malta based Melita Taps Aptilo to Boost Wi-Fi Experience

Melita, the provider of nationwide fibre-powered gigabit internet in Malta and provider of the country’s largest Wi-Fi hotspot network, has deployed Aptilo Service Management Platform™ (SMP) to enable current and future Wi-Fi services.

Melita is migrating their existing nationwide Wi-Fi hotspots and their community Wi-Fi network with over 30,000 homespots, to Aptilo SMP.
