Wifi Revolution

TapRoot Systems Inc., one of the leading developers of software for the smartphone market, has launched its WalkingHotSpot solution for wireless carriers, which provides a platform to deliver new solutions to wireless subscribers around Wi-Fi.

 

The scalable solution allows users to securely retrieve e-mails and browse the internet with no additional software or configuration required on the Wi-Fi client devices.

 

TapRoot's patent-pending software, which is the first in a series of products allowing wireless subscribers to enhance their smartphones for internet connectivity, transforms a Wi-Fi enabled smartphone into a hotspot providing access to 3G data networks.

 

The WalkingHotSpot solution supports multiple devices simultaneously through secure connections. The application is specifically designed to be power-efficient, robust and end-user friendly.

 

"We are very excited to be launching the WalkingHotSpot service. This solution addresses concerns around Wi-Fi for the wireless carrier. The demand for consolidated anywhere, anytime, any-device connectivity has been emphasized in convergence initiatives and discussions in the industry for years. This solution leverages carriers' existing 3G infrastructure and smartphones already in the marketplace, and provides carriers with a whole new business model to serve their subscribers," Bob Bicksler, TapRoot's CEO said in a press release.

 

"We see this as a truly disruptive technology that gives early carrier adopters a significant advantage in terms of differentiation, subscriber acquisition, increased ARPU and reduced churn," Bicksler added.

 

TapRoot is also launching its WHS Server, which provides carriers with the ability to manage and control subscriber accounts, authenticate WalkingHotSpot devices and clients, as well as collect subscriber usage information.

 

This service allows carriers to offer a secure, controlled and scalable solution to their subscribers.

 

TapRoot Systems, Inc. provides software products and services for the mobile device marketplace. The company specializes in foundational software solutions for the industry's major mobile operating systems.
