AT&T’s ( News - Alert) global Wi-Fi service, which now tops 57,000 hotspots in 83 different countries, will be expanded even further thanks to a partnership with The Cloud, a major European provider with locations in the UK, Germany and the Nordic region. This partnership will grant AT&T a total of more than 9,000 new Wi-FIi locations.
“AT&T is committed to continue to expand its Enterprise Mobility portfolio,” said John V. Slamecka, AT&T’s VP of operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. “[This] will provide our customers with flexible Wi-Fi to access corporate networks and stay in touch with the home or the office anywhere and at any time.”
Looking to accelerate the delivery of IP business services and solutions on a global basis, AT&T recently initiated their expansion program, of which the Cloud partnership is a major component. The European additions—which comprise 7,600 in the UK, 900 in Germany and 500 in the Nordics—will also further strengthen AT&T’s robust Wi-Fi presence in the U.S. 802.11 (Wi-Fi) | X | The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard is usually referred to as Wi-Fi-Wireless Fidelity or WLAN Wireless Local Area Network.
