Swisscom Selects Aptilo for Next Step in Wi-Fi Service Offering
STOCKHOLM – Switzerland’s leading telecoms provider Swisscom has selected Aptilo Networks, the leading provider of carrier-class Wi-Fi service management and offloading solutions, to provide service management to support future development of their Wi-Fi offerings. The Aptilo Service Management Platform™ (SMP) has been integrated with Swisscom’s existing systems, giving Swisscom the flexibility to leverage new technologies and deploy new services easily.
Swisscom is a pioneer in carrier Wi-Fi, as they were one of the first operators in the world deploying SIM authentication for a seamless Wi-Fi user experience. Swisscom’s Wi-Fi network, with more than 20,000 access points and 17 million Wi-Fi sessions per month, is deployed at hotels, restaurants, railway stations, airports, universities, businesses, stadiums and other public places throughout Switzerland.
“We are proud to have been selected by Swisscom, an innovator in service provider Wi-Fi and a great example for the whole industry,” said Torbjorn Ward, CEO, Aptilo Networks. “We thrive on working with forward-thinking customers such as Swisscom. It helps us maintain our cutting edge.”
The Aptilo ServiceGlue™ functionality in Aptilo SMP allows service providers to define advanced functionality with configurable rule-sets making Aptilo SMP easy to integrate with a minimal impact on existing systems. This means that the service provider can seamlessly upgrade to Aptilo SMP while keeping the existing systems and functionality, and still benefit from Aptilo’s state-of-the-art Wi-Fi service management system for new services. With Aptilo’s service provider Wi-Fi solution, Swisscom has built-in flexibility to adapt to any future requirements.
