STOCKHOLM – September 17, 2019 – Aptilo Networks has been named a finalist for three out of the six 2019 Wireless Broadband Alliance Industry Awards.

The WBA Annual Industry Awards recognize innovations and achievements in the Wi-Fi ecosystem.

Aptilo shares the nomination for Best Wi-Fi Network Operator with Canadian operator Telus.

“We are particularly pleased to be nominated together with Telus, one of our customers,” said Johan Terve, VP Marketing, Aptilo Networks. “Telus is running one of the best Wi-Fi services in the world, and we are proud to be enabling the service with the Aptilo Service Management Platform™.”

Aptilo’s new Virtual Service Provider innovation was nominated in the Best Wi-Fi Network Technology category. It enables a scaleable operator-managed corporate Wi-Fi and LAN service. Operators can leverage one infrastructure and SSID while still allowing each of their B2B customers to act as a virtual service provider, handling the daily operations toward their own business or residential customers.

Aptilo Zero-touch Wi-Fi IoT Connectivity innovation was nominated in the Best Enterprise Wi-Fi Network category. It creates a mass-market for IoT running on Wi-Fi networks, by breaking down existing barriers of connecting IoT devices to Wi-Fi. Typically, onboarding IoT devices to Wi-Fi is extremely challenging. Existing Wi-Fi connectivity solutions require a manual action when the device is switched on for the first time. This process must be repeated every time the security key for the Wi-Fi network is changed.

Aptilo’s solution works with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT core to allow IoT devices to automatically and securely connect to Wi-Fi when switched on for the first time and every time thereafter.

About Aptilo Networks
Aptilo Networks is a leading provider of carrier-class systems to manage data services with advanced functions for authentication, policy control and charging. Aptilo Service Management Platform™ (SMP) has become synonymous with Wi-Fi service management and Wi-Fi offload in large-scale deployments with 100+ operators in more than 75 countries, and is a critical component of Wi-Fi calling and IoT.

Aptilo Wins Cablefax Tech Award for Best in IoT

/in , /by

STOCKHOLM – June 13, 2019 – Aptilo Networks has won the 2019 Cablefax CFX Tech Awards in the IoT Product or Service category, for Aptilo Zero-touch Wi-Fi IoT Connectivity™.

Aptilo SMP™ Consent & Personal Data Management Solution received the only honorable mention in the Wireless-Wi-Fi Solution category.

Aptilo Zero-touch Wi-Fi IoT Connectivity creates mass-market availability of Wi-Fi-based IoT devices by breaking down existing barriers of connecting IoT devices to Wi-Fi. Typically, onboarding of IoT devices to Wi-Fi networks is extremely difficult. Existing Wi-Fi connectivity solutions all require some kind of manual action when the device is switched on for the first time. Furthermore, this process needs to be repeated every time the security key for the Wi-Fi network is changed.

Aptilo designed a service that works in concert with Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT core, that enables the IoT device to automatically and securely connect to the Wi-Fi network when it is switched on for the first time and every time thereafter. Aptilo Zero-touch Wi-Fi IoT Connectivity uses device certificates that already exist in AWS IoT Core to verify the device. It also leverages Hotspot 2.0 and the Wi-Fi Alliance’s Passpoint, while also supporting legacy Wi-Fi equipment and devices.

“IoT and Wi-Fi represent two significant growth opportunities for cable operators. Aptilo has cracked the code for IoT, with our Zero-touch Wi-Fi IoT Connectivity solution that opens the floodgates for enabling Wi-Fi connectivity to IoT devices. This is the second year in a row that Aptilo innovation has been recognized by Cablefax. Our team is proud to be honored once again,” said Paul Mikkelsen, CEO, Aptilo Networks.

The Aptilo SMP consent & personal data management solution is fully compliant with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Businesses can implement targeted marketing campaigns to engage users while protecting their privacy with self-service functions for handling their own personal data and consents.

Aptilo SMP™ Consent & Personal Data Management solution, has been shortlisted in the Wireless/WiFi Solution category.

Aptilo Zero-touch Wi-Fi IoT Connectivity™

Aptilo Zero-touch Wi-Fi IoT Connectivity addresses an area which has prevented innovations using Wi-Fi for connectivity of IoT devices from taking off. Typically, onboarding of Wi-Fi IoT devices is difficult. Existing Wi-Fi connectivity solutions all require some kind of manual action when the device is switched on for the first time.

Aptilo’s solution facilitates automatic and secure onboarding of IoT devices to Wi-Fi networks by utilizing certificates already existing in the device and standard Hotspot 2.0 functionality. This will create a mass-market availability of Wi-Fi based IoT devices.

Aptilo SMP™ Consent & Personal Data Management solution

The Aptilo SMP consent & personal data management solution with its privacy-protected marketing features is fully compliant with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Businesses can engage users while protecting their privacy with functions for handling personal data and smart consent pop-ups. Only the relevant consents with terms for the access method used are dynamically shown. By separating consents from portal designs, administrators can manage user consents over time and update texts without disruptive changes to the portal.

While GDPR is implemented in Europe, the need for Wi-Fi solutions that meet strict privacy and personal data management requirements is fast becoming global.
