SAN BRUNO, Calif. July 23, 2008 -- Devicescape Software and Deutsche Telekom AG,
Europe's
largest telecommunications company, today announced that they have
integrated their services to enable easier access for users and more types
of devices onto T-Mobile HotSpot networks. To make it convenient for
Devicescape members to find and use the more than 10,000 plus T-Mobile
HotSpot locations across Germany and Europe, Devicescape now sells service
subscriptions and vouchers directly on members' account pages. By
integrating T-Mobile HotSpot access directly into the Devicescape solution
Deutsche Telekom can leverage the large base of Devicescape users to drive
revenue and increase network usage.
"We have a growing member base of WiFi device owners who enjoy easy and
seamless connections from all their devices across Europe," said Dave
Fraser, CEO, Devicescape. "By offering a simple and convenient way to
purchase T-Mobile HotSpot access from member account pages, we hope to make
their WiFi experience even better and to increase the number of Devicescape
members who use T-Mobile."
"By partnering with Devicescape earlier in the year, Deutsche Telekom
showed its commitment to enabling as many WiFi devices as possible to enjoy
seamless and secure access to the T-Mobile HotSpot network," said Andreas
Morschhausen, Head of Product Management, Mobile Access, Deutsche Telekom.
"Today we have taken a step to make access to T-Mobile HotSpot networks
even easier for all Devicescape members and we look forward to future
integrations that continue to improve consumers' experience of our
service."
This announcement is the latest development in the partnership between the
two companies that was made public at Mobile World Congress (Barcelona,
Spain) in February 2008 which enables T-Home and T-Mobile users to enjoy
automatic wireless access whenever they are within range of a T-Mobile
HotSpot.
With many of Deutsche Telekom's 8,000 plus T-Mobile HotSpots located in
Germany, relevant pages on the Devicescape website are now available in
both English and German for maximum ease-of-use for German-speaking
consumers. Access to the German language pages is via a German flag
conveniently situated on the website's home page. Customers can purchase
service subscriptions and vouchers via a simple "buy" button on the
Devicescape website when they are looking to "add a hotspot" to increase
their coverage.
The award-winning Devicescape solution eliminates the need for users to
type in cumbersome login and password information and supports automatic
login for devices with or without browsers. Devicescape also automates
access at roaming partner hotspots further improving consumer experience,
expanding coverage for travelers and building an important part of operator
businesses. Additionally, operators that offer both cellular and WiFi
access can use Devicescape to seamlessly shift users from costly and
crowded cellular networks onto more cost-effective WiFi networks.
Devicescape is free for consumers and the software is available for popular
devices at www.devicescape.com, including Nokia Eseries and Nseries, Windows
Mobile Smartphones, laptops with Mac OSX, Windows XP and Vista, and the
iPhone and iPod touch -- with many more planned. Development partners can
also work with the company to include the Devicescape service in their
products.
