Bern,Switzerland & Waltham, MA 9 February, 2006.
WeRoam, the global roaming platform, and Airpath Wireless, the leader in enabling management and roaming for wireless broadband networks, announce an agreement whereby WeRoam gains access to increased wireless broadband footprint via Airpath’s InterRoam hosted roaming and clearinghouse platform and the Airpath Provider Alliance (APA). WeRoam customers can now access wireless broadband in a number of metropolitan wireless networks and wireless venues such as airports, cafés and hotels.. By leveraging Airpath’s InterRoam, WeRoam can also gain access for their customers to additional locations through existing operators that have already interconnected to the InterRoam clearinghouse platform; all without the burden of separate interconnects. These locations can support roaming via WeRoam’s neutral SIM authentication platform and the WISPr standard for open roaming.
The addition of these wireless locations is of particular importance to GSM operators, as they represent the first significant base of SIM enabled Public WLAN venues in the United States for WeRoam. Users of mobile data solutions, now have the ability to supplement the limited 3G coverage available in America & beyond, by being able to connect at high speed in these new locations.
“The agreement with Airpath is beneficial for both parties.” said Toni Stadelmann, CEO of WeRoam “WeRoam customers gain access to further worldwide WLAN coverage with proven simplicity for roaming access. Airpath's carrier customers now have the ability to expand their footprint, without carrying out unnecessary technical implementations. Via this agreement, using broadband Internet while travelling becomes increasingly simple".
“WeRoam is helping to drive the availability of high speed wireless broadband services. Through both the APA and Airpath’s InterRoam platform, we are enabling WeRoam to expand their wireless broadband services coverage for their end users and meet the increasing demand for mobile broadband,” said George McHorney, president of Airpath. “Since InterRoam delivers an e-commerce exchange for roaming contract management, WeRoam can continue to use the online tool to acquire and make available to their end users new roaming footprint around the globe.”
