AIRNYX becomes WeRoam hotspot partner
AIRNYX becomes WeRoam hotspot partner / International WLAN coverage expanded by the introduction of hundreds of attractive locations in Germany
Berne / Munich, March 16, 2004/Wi-Fi Technology News/- AIRNYX AG operates a rapidly increasing number of public wireless Internet access points in Germany and has just become WeRoam's new hotspot partner...
Linking up over 400 of AIRNYX's attractive German hotspot locations and making them part of the WeRoam service also means that Germany's entire Agip filling station network will be encompassed
WeRoam has a wireless footprint of more than 8,000 Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide and, as a qualified roaming expert, is been bridging between a large number of international wireless Internet service providers (WISPs) and well-known mobile-phone operators. Indeed, as the leading WLAN roaming service WeRoam is steadfast in its use of the advanced SIM authentication procedure. In the same way as GSM telephony, the SIM card makes possible secure authentication, easy wireless access to the WLAN service and billing on mobile-phone invoices.
AIRNYX AG attaches a great deal of importance to established locations with a branch network such as petrol stations, service stations and coffee shops. By linking up to the WeRoam service, the company will now also be able to benefit -via inbound roaming- from additional international private and business users travelling through Germany.
