Swisscom Mobile signs Wi-Fi hotspot roaming agreement with Trustive
Trustive, Europe's leading wireless hotspot access provider, has announced that it has signed a bilateral roaming agreement with Swisscom Mobile, Switzerland's leading mobile provider.
The agreement means that Swisscom Mobile's customers will be able to access Trustive's global network, which already covers most major European airports and many other prime locations. In addition, Swisscom Mobile's hotspot network of more than 1,000 high-quality hotspots in Switzerland, including Geneva airport and many major hotels, will be integrated into the Trustive network. This now includes over 32,000 hotspots, of which 25,000 hotspots are already available, with the remainder becoming accessible within 30 days.
Swisscom Mobile customers will be able to gain seamless access to the extended hotspots offering through a Swisscom Mobile branded web login by entering their mobile number and a password received via SMS. Via this login users will be able to use the Trustive network wherever they are in the world and have the convenience of being billed for the hotspot usage to their Swisscom Mobile invoice.
Gavin Dresselhuis, co-founder and managing director of Trustive, said: "Swisscom Mobile is a key mobile operator in the European WiFi space, so we are delighted to be working with them. This furthers Trustive's position as leaders in the European WiFi access market and is great news for both our retail and wholesale customers."
Tommy Bertling, senior product manager at Swisscom Mobile, said: "We are continually looking to provide innovative WiFi services to our customers. This agreement with Trustive means that we can offer access to an expanded hi-quality network all under the Swisscom brand."
