Kineto's Smart Wi-Fi Application on 3 Million Android
Smartphones Worldwide
Application brings improved coverage, data offload to operators; key milestones reached in just five months
Milpitas, Calif., April 27, 2011
Kineto Wireless, the key innovator and leading supplier of Smart Wi-Fi solutions for mobile operators, today announced its Smart Wi-Fi application is on more than three million Android smartphones.
The company also announced that its Smart Wi-Fi Application for Android now comes pre-loaded on more than 15 smartphone models from the industry’s leading manufacturers, including Samsung, HTC, LG and Motorola. Kineto reached these major milestones with Smart Wi-Fi in just five months from launch of the application.
Kineto’s Smart Wi-Fi Application is the industry’s only smartphone application that delivers an intelligent offload solution while improving coverage using existing Wi-Fi access points. The application provides users with the identical mobile voice, SMS and data service experience over Wi-Fi as they receive on the outdoor cellular network.
Reaction to the application has been extremely positive. In an article about T-Mobile US’s Wi-Fi Calling service, which is powered by Kineto’s Smart Wi-Fi, PC Magazine’s Sascha Segan writes, “T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling solution is the best in the business. It's a lifeline in weak-signal areas, and it saves you big bucks abroad.”
Commenting on Kineto’s recent success, Steve Shaw, Kineto’s vice president of marketing said: “To realize the benefits of offloading data, mobile operators need to offer their subscribers’ incentives to turn on Wi-Fi. An application like Kineto’s Smart Wi-Fi that delivers better coverage or cheaper calling ensures people will use Wi-Fi at home or in the office – locations where the majority of data usage occurs.”
