United States : Oi Leads with International Wi-Fi Data Roaming Services with iPass Open Mobile Exchange [TendersInfo (India)]

(TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Oi, a pioneer company in the provision of bundled services in Brazil, and iPass Inc., the global Wi-Fi services leader, today announced a new agreement that will enable Oi to provide its customers with access to the world s largest commercial Wi-Fi network through the iPass Open Mobile Exchange.


This is another leading initiative that Oi is taking to offer its customers with the best Wi-Fi coverage both locally and internationally, expanding the Internet Everywhere concept by offering 780,000 and growing hotspots in airports, hotels, coffee shops, and premium locations around the world. The service is expected to be available to users within the next month.

Our goal in partnering with iPass is to offer both Oi eligible customers and Oi WiFi Vex customers greater value and cost savings internationally, to reinforce our commitment of offering the best Internet Everywhere experience, said Eduardo Aspesi, Oi Retail Director. Oi WiFi network was launched in 2011 to strengthen the position of the company as the largest and more complete provider of Internet access in Brazil. The partnership with iPass is very important for Oi, because it broadens the service offering to an additional 780 000 hotspots in several countries, added Aspesi.

This partnership further enhances the OMX platform and ecosystem by adding such a large strategic partner and the value proposition Oi delivers to its customers. The simplicity of providing customers a complementary Wi-Fi footprint that allows easy access for people when they travel on business or leisure and invoiced through a customer s monthly bill is paving the way for the future norm.
