Trustive Can Now Access Over 2,000 China Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspots Supported by Coordinate Technologies

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coordinate Technologies, a leading provider of wireless data interconnectivity services, and Trustive, a leading international Wi-Fi hotspot access provider and N^o 1 in Europe, announced today that they have finalized a roaming connection with China Mobile. Trustive customers will gain immediate access to over 2,000 China Mobile Hotspots in eight provinces, including the Beijing Capital and Shanghai Pudong International Airports.

China Mobile is upgrading their Wi-Fi network and will be adding significantly more hotspots in 2009. China Mobile has selected Coordinate Technologies to provide centralised Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting (AAA) services for roaming service providers seeking wireless Internet access.

Trustive has spent the last 5 years investing in and developing its Wi-Fi hotspot network and today gives travellers extensive Wi-Fi coverage by combining Wi-Fi hotspot locations in 65+ countries into one unified, global network of Wi-Fi hotspots. Trustive enables customers access to these locations through a single click (single username and password plus a Wi-Fi client that automates the log in process).

Caroline Berry, Sales & Marketing Director of Trustive says: “Trustive has been Europe’s number one Wi-Fi access provider for a number of years now, but with this partnership, Trustive is really reinforcing its presence globally – Asia Pacific is a growing market and Trustive is therefore very excited to be able to offer its customers even more premium hotspots in this region.”

Coordinate Technologies provides wireless data interconnectivity and other value added services to over 20 leading telecom operators. Coordinate provides prepaid and post paid data access services to customers accessing China Mobile and China Unicom Hotspots. Arthur Holcombe, VP Business Development at Coordinate Technologies stated: “We are excited to be working with Trustive to support their expansion into China. Trustive customers will now be able to access wireless Internet, receive live chat support, or view Trustive’s global Hotspot directory from any Coordinate operated Hotspot.”
