Premium Wi-Fi Service jointly by Qualcomm and Wandering

Qualcomm and Wandering WiFi aligned to deliver a new Premium Wi-Fi Service, on Qualcomm's Mobile Computing Platform 200 Series (MCP200). The Premium Wi-Fi Service uses Wandering WiFi's network to provide access to more than 700 Wi-Fi hotspots at truck stops across the United States.

The platform allows carriers to give drivers access via the Internet to relevant back-office information in a more cost-effective and efficient manner.

The carriers using MCP200 can provide their drivers with unlimited access to Qualcomm's In-cab Scanning service over the Wi-Fi network without incurring additional per-page charges. Carriers have the option of using either their own private Wi-Fi networks or Premium Wi-Fi Service to access Wi-Fi hotspots.

The MCP200 delivers transportation services, including in-cab video training, Internet access, and multi-mode capability.

"Enabling drivers to be connected at more locations is critical to our customers and their drivers because it not only improves productivity, but also gives drivers access to a range of information via the Internet," said Norm Ellis, vice president of transportation and logistics sales and services, Qualcomm Enterprise Services. "Our alliance with Wandering WiFi to deliver Qualcomm's Premium Wi-Fi Service provides additional business value to our MCP200 customers, as it allows drivers to use their truck cab as a mobile operations center."

"We are proud to collaborate with Qualcomm to provide their customers with access to the largest, most convenient Wi-Fi network in the transportation industry," said John Marshall, president and CEO of Wandering WiFi. "Our Wi-Fi hotspots offer drivers consistent, reliable access to the tools they need when and where they need them."
