| iPass Launches Free Wi-Fi Hotspot Finder for Handhelds iPass has announced a version of its Hotspot Finder designed for smartphone use. The iPass Handheld Hotspot Finder — available for free at this page — helps mobile workers to locate nearby Wi-Fi hotspots in the iPass network of more than 95,000 broadband locations in over 80 countries using the Web browser on their smartphones. With the majority of the mobile workforce already equipped with both a laptop and a smartphone, according to Yankee Group, mobile workers need tools that leverage the benefits of each device. The iPass Handheld Hotspot Finder makes it easy and convenient for business travelers toting multiple devices to identify nearby hotspots while on the move. This search tool complements the new iPassConnect mobility service for individuals. Together, the Hotspot Finder and iPassConnect mobility service give mobile workers a powerful combination for staying connected, practically anywhere in the world. After connecting to the iPass Handheld Hotspot Finder web page, the user simply inputs his location (city and state, and zip code or airport location) and the hotspot finder generates a list of all available local hotspots. Selecting a hotspot from the list delivers specifics about the venue as well as a local map. The iPass global virtual network comprises more than 95,000 Wi-Fi hotpots, mobile broadband, Ethernet and dial-up in over 160 countries. In the U.S., iPass users can connect at T-Mobile HotSpot locations like Starbucks coffeehouses, Borders Books & Music stores, FedEx Kinko's Office and Print Centers, leading hotel brands, virtually every major airport and the airline clubs of American, Delta, United and US Airways. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
