Under the terms of the agreement, the Austin, Texas-based company will offer iPass customers access to its over 420 locations, including Wi-Fi wireless access throughout all gates and terminals in airports and hotels and wired access in close to 100,000 hotel guestrooms. iPass will distribute Wayport high-speed Internet access directly, via its 700 Internet service provider partners and through its 70 value-added reseller partners worldwide, as an integrated part of the iPass Global Roaming Service.

This agreement will enable "iPass users to access more locations and allows us to tap into their base of global enterprise customers who connect every day," said David Vucina, Wayport CEO. "Customers can purchase corporate and individual service directly from Wayport or iPass."

"The addition of Wayport’s expansive U.S. footprint, coupled with the coverage of our existing service providers worldwide, enables us to offer an unparalleled, global solution for the roaming user," said Michael Mansouri, chairman and CEO of iPass.
