In 2007, iPass added support for Windows Vista and expanded its Symbian OS and Windows Mobile smartphone offerings. The company expanded support to several dozen 3G mobile data devices, enhanced its 3G mobile broadband management portal and joined the WiMAX Forum to help guide this key emerging technology.
The company took strides toward unifying mobility by incorporating its device management capabilities into the iPass Mobile Office connectivity service. iPass also released its new Device Protection service powered by Symantec, added support for Windows Vista devices and Cisco Network Admissions Control, and expanded its patch management support.
iPass’ enterprise flat-rate pricing plans help customers manage mobility costs by charging a predictable fee based on only those workers who actively use iPass services in a given month. By year’s end, this pricing model and other fixed or subscription pricing accounted for half of iPass revenues.
iPass continued to grow its leading global network, surpassing 95,000 Wi-Fi hotspot and Ethernet access points and expanding its 3G mobile broadband presence into key European markets. Our managed fixed broadband network continues to provide leading DSL and Cable coverage across North America.
