Aptilo Networks, the leading provider of carrier-class Wi-Fi service management and offloading solutions, has been selected by a North African operator to enable Wi-Fi services in a major city.
As more and more operators drive towards supporting multiple set of communication technologies, Wi-Fi offloading is fast emerging as a great way to reduce stress on the network and offload mobile network data onto Wi-Fi airwaves.
Using the Aptilo Service Management Platform, Wi-Fi services will be offered to residential subscribers, tourists and enterprises. Users will be able to sign-up online and pay for the service through voucher or credit card. Utilizing Aptilo’s recurring credit card charging feature, subscribers will be able to sign-up for a monthly subscription billed through their credit cards.
Free access to the Wi-Fi network will also be provided within the limited scope of a specific venue for different sponsored events and for enterprise Guest Internet Access.
The registration process for non-subscribers will be simplified but will still require secure identification of the user. At first login, non-subscribers need only enter a validation code delivered from the Aptilo platform via a SMS or e-mail to access the service.
Aptilo’s solutions are sold as software licenses running on standard servers. In addition, Aptilo offers customers the convenience of a hosted solution via the Aptilo Managed Service. The company sells its products primarily through global partners, ecosystem partners and regional partners.
Aptilo Networks is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with regional offices in Kuala Lumpur, Dallas and Toledo. Aptilo Networks is privately held with Norvestor Equity as the majority shareholder.
