Tatara Systems and Wayport Announce Trial Program to Accelerate Public Wi-Fi Market Entry For Tier One Service Providers
Two companies work together in a six-month trial
program to make it easy for service providers to
pilot cost-effective delivery of public Wi-Fi services in
airports, hotels and retail locations
Tatara Systems and Wayport announced that the
two companies will work together in a six-month trial
program to give service providers an easy and cost-
effective point of entry into the Wi-Fi marketplace.
Through the trial, carriers interested in offering Wi-Fi
services using their own brand and delivered across
Wayport's existing nationwide public Wi-Fi network can
now quickly set up real-world trials by accessing a
hosted version of Tatara's Wi-Fi Service Delivery
Platform - which is already integrated with the Wayport
network.
The Tatara Wi-Fi Service Delivery Platform enables
service providers such as mobile operators, wireline
carriers, aggregators, ISPs and cable operators to
support advanced functions critical to roaming. By
certifying the integration of Tatara's Wi-Fi Service
Delivery Platform with Wayport's nationwide hotspot
network, Wayport and Tatara are lowering the barriers
to entry into the Wi-Fi market for service providers
through this trial. Best yet, Tatara will make available
to select tier one service providers a hosted trial
version of the Tatara Wi-Fi Service Delivery Platform
that is connected to the live Wayport network.
Through this offer, select providers will be able to test
the delivery of public Wi-Fi service offerings to end
users in airports, hotels and select McDonald's locations
in the Bay Area that are part of the Wayport network.
