Devicescape Service Platform is recognized by telecom industry luminaries for Wi-Fi innovation
SAN BRUNO, Calif., February 25, 2014—Devicescape today announced its Wi-Fi service platform, now deployed by multiple mobile operators in North American and European markets, has won the 2014 Telecoms.com Industry Award for the ‘Best use of Wi-Fi’ category. Announced last night at Mobile World Congress, the Devicescape Service Platform was recognized for the significant contribution it makes to addressing operator requirements to extend capacity reach and provide an ‘always best connected’ (ABC) subscriber experience.
“Devicescape emerged as the clear winner from a strong field in the Wi-Fi category of the Telecoms.com Awards,” said Mike Hibberd, Editorial Director at Telecoms.com. “The judges were impressed with the innovation it has shown in its use of an existing resource to enhance both the end user experience and the operator proposition.”
Dave Fraser, CEO of Devicescape said, “The Telecoms.com award is yet more recognition of the value operators now place on delivering an always best connected experience to their subscribers. They increasingly recognise the requirement to adopt a public Wi-Fi strategy to meet that need and Devicescape’s Wi-Fi Service Platform delivers on all fronts. It provides access to capacity, the means to engage with subscribers and venue owners and detailed insight into network activity and consumer behavior.”
Devicescape’s Wi-Fi Service Platform has now been deployed by multiple operators and device manufacturers around the world including Virgin Media, MetroPCS (T-Mobile) and U.S. Cellular. Agreements also exist with Intel and Microsoft (deployed by Verizon). Devicescape is currently exhibiting at Mobile World Congress 2014 in Hall 2, Suite 2O25.
