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.”
