MUMBAI: O-Zone Networks, which offers sophisticated national wireless LAN coverage across India, is now ready to add its growing number of hotspot locations to the iPass Global Broadband Roaming footprint.

 

Recently launched, O-Zone is working in partnership with India's largest listed real estate developer, DLF, to bring Wi-Fi internet access to popular venues across the country.

 

The company has a long-term goal of rolling out more than 6,000 locations within the next four years. In its first year, the customers and visitors of O-Zone would have an access to more than 500 high-speed wireless internet points.

The new network will include comprehensive coverage in the popular business destinations of Delhi and Gurgaon IT as well as various Cyber Parks.

"This agreement with iPass is fantastic news for O-Zone and will really help to validate our rapidly growing network. We're excited that business travellers from around the world will be able to securely connect to their corporate networks or the internet, when and where they like, during their trips to India," said O-Zone founder-CEO Sanjeev (Bobby) Sarin.

Prior to full integration in the iPass network, the O-Zone network infrastructure will go through iPass' Enterprise Ready Certification process, ensuring adherence to high levels of access reliability and compatibility with enterprise systems.

These locations will add to the world's largest active Wi-Fi network of over 91,000 business-friendly broadband venues including 83 of the world's top 100 airports and 520 airports in total.

"India is rapidly becoming a priority destination for iPass Global 2000 customers. We're delighted to have an agreement in place with O-Zone as their expansion plans look very exciting," commented iPass chief business development and sales officer Anurag Lal.

The O-Zone network is due to cover a wide range of venues including shopping complexes, coffee shops, fast food chains and hotels as well as major international airports.
