Scania Hits the Road With iPass

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 2, 2007 -- iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), a global provider of services that unify the management of enterprise mobility, today announced that Scania, one of the world's leading manufacturers of trucks and buses for heavy transport applications, and of industrial and marine engines, is rolling out iPass Mobile Office to its global remote workforce. The deployment is being implemented and managed by Flexible Networks Nordic (FlexiNets®), a Swedish remote access specialist and Certified iPass Solution Partner. A Global 2000 company with headquarters in Sweden and operations across 100 countries, Scania required a remote access solution that would enable its employees to take advantage of wireless technologies to stay productive while on the road.

Scania selected iPass Mobile Office after benchmarking it against its existing remote access solution. iPass stood out for its usability and expansive global Wi-Fi footprint, which includes more than 76,000 Wi-Fi hotspots and coverage in 76 of the world's top hundred airports by passenger traffic. Scania's existing remote access solution offered mostly dial-up connectivity but was lacking in its global Wi-Fi coverage which Scania's employees required to gain high-speed and reliable access to business-critical resources while out of the office.

"Wi-Fi was the missing link in our mobile connectivity strategy. The technology has come into its own over the last two years and we wanted to take advantage of that. Our employees are distributed across 100 countries, with many travelling regularly across Europe and South America, so finding a solution that could offer true global Wi-Fi coverage, not just pockets of coverage, was our number one priority. We also appreciated FlexiNets' ability to split costs across regions and business units," commented Jens Satero, Sourcing Manager, Scania.

Flexinets will initially roll out the iPass solution to 500-600 Scania employees, with a view to increasing the number of users as remote working grows increasingly more important within the company. The employees represent a wide cross segment of Scania's business from engineering and management to sales and marketing executives.

"During the pilot phase, feedback on the iPass solution was very positive. Many commented that the service was much easier to use than the previous remote access provider. The solution also fits well with Scania's growth plans as the iPass client has been designed to support emerging technologies such as HSDPA and WiMax," commented Martin Solang, Sales Manager, Flexinets.

"Scania's transition from dial-up to Wi-Fi mirrors that of many other companies with large mobile workforces. Now that Wi-Fi is widely available in hotels, airports, cafés and conference centers, companies are realizing they can benefit from high speed connectivity wherever they are located," said Doug Loewe, vice president and managing director, iPass EMEA. "We're confident that Flexinets will deliver a strong solution that will enable Scania's employees to maximize their productivity."
