Deutsche Telekom Signs With Devicescape


SAN BRUNO, CA--(Marketwire - February 12, 2008) - Devicescape Software today announced a partnership with Deutsche Telekom to expand the range of Wi-Fi devices that can have easy, automatic access to the more than 8,000 T-Mobile hotspot locations across Germany and Europe. Because Devicescape enables any Wi-Fi enabled device, like notebooks, media players, cameras and game systems to connect to any T-Mobile hotspot, the company can expand the range of devices that will be able to access the T-Mobile network to drive increased revenues and network usage.

"We are pleased to partner with a leading network operator, such as Deutsche Telekom to make Wi-Fi access even easier for T-Home and T-Mobile users and expand the number of devices that are able to easily access the network," said David Fraser, CEO for Devicescape. "Devicescape will drive more devices to the network, helping our leading telecom partners benefit from expanded network usage globally."

T-Mobile HotSpot is a Wi-Fi (wireless broadband) service located in Germany and selected European Countries. T-Mobile HotSpot is the most accessible public wireless broadband service in the region, with more than 8,000 hotspots in locations like McDonald's flagship and drive-thru restaurants, Starbucks and major hotels and airports as well as in selected railway stations of Deutsche Bahn and ICE-trains.

By partnering with Devicescape, T-Home and T-Mobile users will have automatic wireless access whenever they are within range of a T-Mobile HotSpot. The Devicescape service eliminates the need for users to type in cumbersome login and password information and supports automatic login for devices with or without browsers. Uniquely, Devicescape automates access at any roaming partner hotspot too, expanding coverage for traveling users.

"Deutsche Telekom is committed to providing our customers with reliable Wi-Fi coverage where they need it and when they need it. And, as we continue to evolve, we want to make it as easy as possible for them to get any of their newest devices connected in order to enjoy the benefits of wireless broadband," said Andreas Morschhausen, Head of Product Management, Mobile Access. "Devicescape appeals to a wide audience of Wi-Fi users, so by making it easy to sign up for the Mobile HotSpot Service, we're able to expand the coverage these Wi-Fi users can enjoy."

Devicescape is free for consumers and the software is available for popular devices at www.devicescape.com including Nokia Eseries and Nseries, Windows Mobile Smartphones, laptops with Mac OSX, Windows XP and Vista, and the iPhone and iPod touch -- with many more planned. Development partners can also work with the company to include the Devicescape service in their products.
