Aptilo Managed Service Enables Metro Wi-Fi Network in the City of Mecca for Pilgrims to Islamic Hajj, Working with Tropos Networks

STOCKHOLM; DALLAS; AND KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA � December 19, 2007 �Aptilo Networks, the global leader in integrated solutions for Service Management and Access Control for wireless networks including WiMAX (News - Alert), Metro-Wi-Fi

and Wi-Fi hotspots, is managing the service for the metro Wi-Fi network deployed in the City of Mecca for Islamic Hajj, a pilgrimage expected to gather together more than three million Muslims. Aptilo is working with Tropos® Networks who provided the company�s MetroMesh� system for the deployment.

The broadband Wi-Fi network will be in place throughout the week of Hajj. Internet access is free; visitors need only to register to utilize the service.

Deployed with Bayanat Al-Oula for Network Services, the Tropos-based wireless network utilizes the Aptilo Managed Service�, an ideal option for organizations wanting to swiftly deploy a wireless service management solution without burdening IT and network support staff or being distracted from their core business. Aptilo�s solution enables rapid deployment, a key benefit, as the Wi-Fi network will be enabled only for the week of Hajj. It includes the robust Aptilo Service Management Platform� for a highly scalable carrier-grade wireless solution.

�Millions of pilgrims will make their way to Mecca this year, many of whom bring their wireless devices, laptops etc.,� said Torbjorn Ward, Chief Executive Office and Co-Founder, Aptilo Networks. �This installment leverages Aptilo�s rapid deployment capabilities in a scalable platform that can adapt to a larger audience of users should the need arise. We are honored to be a part of this event, offering broadband wireless Internet access to the City of Mecca for this important occasion.�

The Aptilo wireless service management platform for public Wi-Fi networks is a multiservice architecture for wireless service management that effectively handles data and voice service delivery across multiple devices while enabling creation of new revenue-generating value-added services and supporting future network scalability in a unified platform. Aptilo�s feature-rich, comprehensive Wi-Fi service management solution encompasses authentication, authorization, accounting (AAA), portal management, service monitoring, security, statistics and customer care options.

While the Aptilo Service Management Platform is operated from one of Aptilo�s Network Operations Centers (NOC (News - Alert)), the Aptilo Access Controller� needs to be on-site to oversee access- and QoS control. It works together with the Wi-Fi mesh network from Tropos Networks, the market leader in delivering metro-scale wireless IP

mesh networks.
