Through WeRoam®, WISP’ may gain SIM and Radius based connectivity with the networks of Mobile Operators, and vice versa, so that a common roaming platform is created with an extensive worldwide footprint. This is done with minimal up front cost and maximum use of existing network resources.
The end-user experience is comparable to using a mobile phone – whichever network he or she is on and does not have to intervene with username, password, or any other such complication. The use of a SIM card (in fact a type of smart card) gives the operator the proven security of GSM phones and enables WLAN users to be provisioned and managed in the same way as mobile phone users.
According to TOGEWAnet CEO, Toni Stadelmann, “Our partnership with Copenhagen Airport A/S we will give our WeRoam® customers and users access to the network of one of the most compelling promoters of WLAN in Europe. By being selective and by adding quality focused partners like Copenhagen Airport to our global WeRoam® network we will enable customers of all our partners to enjoy the ease of use of global roaming for WLAN like they experience today with GSM.
Henrik Bjørner Søe, Director Business Development of Copenhagen Airport states that Copenhagen Airport, whose WLAN covers the greater part of the transit area through 40 access points, is happy to have entered into an agreement with an innovative company such as TOGEWAnet AG.
