Cloud-based apps drive need for Wi-Fi and iPass delivers [Part 2]

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012 Han Dong, Sr. Product Marketing Manager

Last week I discussed Wi-Fi and the fact that most (90%) tablets are Wi-Fi only!  However, tablets are not the only thing that is converting to Wi-Fi. The BYOD movement calls for Wi-Fi for all electronic devices.

Here is reason number two (out of five) on the value you get from using iPass Open Mobile:

2. Cloud-based Applications (and BYOD) are driving the need for MORE Wi-Fi.
With the strong movement for IT to add and deploy an increasing number of cloud-based services and applications, tied with the pervasive deployment of smartphones and tablets (often BYOD) that need to access much more data than ‘just email,’ the need for Wi-Fi access everywhere is now more important than ever.

iPass was built around the principle of delivering global Wi-Fi to mobile workers regardless of what device they’re using, from PCs-to-Macs and smartphones-to-tablets.

You can also try iPass free for 24 hours on your devices >>

Tune back in next week for reason #3, “When ‘Free Wi-Fi’ isn’t really ‘Free’”
