WifiLand and Hopling Technologies partner for the deployment
of
wireless Mesh Networks in France
Almere, September 18,
2007 - Hopling Technologies, a rapidly growing leader in
IP-based wireless networking equipment for enterprises,
operators and service providers, is going to provide wireless
Mesh equipment for the WifiLand network.
WifiLand, a fast growing Wireless Internet Provider, is the
French leader for providing services in student residences and
universities, with the highest number of customers in France in
this market, and in the provision of wireless services on trade
shows and exhibitions. WifiLand is now aggressively targeting
the white zone market, by providing triple play services in
remote areas which are not served by traditional operators.
Hopling Technologies intensifies its customer acquisition focus
by targeting key market segments in key European countries.
Hopling Technologies’ mesh-based Wireless Solutions vertical
-for public-access hotzones, holiday locations, villages,
cities, events, campuses, and private-access enterprises-
provides unprecedented freedom and mobility for a fast growing
number of laptop, PDA, gaming and mobile phone users who no
longer need wires to stay connected with the Internet.
“We are very pleased to supply equipment to WifiLand, which is a
well established company in France,” said Gerard Dupin, recently
appointed as Director of Wireless Solutions of Hopling
Technologies. “Our products are particularly suited for the
target markets of WifiLand, i.e. the coverage of student
residences and of temporary events.”
“WifiLand is going to deploy a wireless Mesh network for the Top
Resa Trade show, which is the most important professional
tourism trade show (www.topresa.com).
We have extensively tested the Hopling Technologies equipment,
and we are very satisfied with their performance,” indicated
Vincent Carrière, Chief Executive Officer of WifiLand. “The
wireless Mesh technology of Hopling Technologies is ideal for
the coverage of this kind of event, i.e. very easy to deploy and
performing extremely well. We are currently considering the
possibility to deploy Hopling Technologies’ mesh networks in
various network applications, from city or campus networks to
the coverage of so called white zones, where broadband access is
not yet available.”
