IT-sponsored global Wi-Fi access to ease BYOD costs
Tuesday, September 18th, 2012 Karen Ambrose Hickey, EditorToday, we announced an expansion of our iPass Open Mobile Express solution to help organizations tackle the rising costs of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).
To control the increasing costs of roaming with these individual (and often multiple) mobile devices per employees, IT can negotiate the best Wi-Fi connection rates and enable other departments to take fiscal responsibility for their Wi-Fi network needs. As well, IT can maintain control and support of a hybrid environment of both corporate-owned and employee-owned smartphones and tablets.
To complement the BYOD trend, we call this BYON, or “Bring-Your-Own-Network,” as employees will have access to over 1 million commercial-grade hotspots. iPass provides the ability to monitor usage and also assess networks speeds.
Enterprise IT can now offer their departments and employees a direct credit card billing option for seamless global Wi-Fi access on smartphones and tablets. More employees prefer to use their own devices, and many organizations are taking advantage of this trend.
