PRESS RELEASE  
1,250 new WLAN hotspots for PostAuto Schweiz AG buses

Together with the Zürich network specialist WLAN-Partner.com AG, Hesse-based IPmotion GmbH has equipped 1,250 fleet and commercial vehicles of the Swiss bus operator PostAuto Schweiz AG with WLAN routers and successfully completed the Schweizer Post’s project for the equipping of vehicles with wireless Internet. Using their smartphone or pad, bus passengers can now read, play or work without disruption and free of charge while travelling on over 70 percent of all vehicles of the public transport provider. 

Heuchelheim/Zürich, 27.05.2013 – If connection problems occur, the Wi-Fi devices from IPmotion can be rerouted to a replacement connection in fractions of a second without the connection breaking, whatever the vehicle speed. Dead spots during coach journeys or caused by an overloading of the network are thus a thing of the past. The Wi-Fi routers were developed by IPmotion from Hesse, and configured, monitored and controlled for operation by the Swiss network partner WLAN-partner.com in Zürich. Last year, both were accepted as suppliers by Schweizer Post following an intensive vendor comparison. 

“In Germany too, the rising popularity of telematics solutions for fleet management, the growing number of mobile Internet solutions on the market for travellers and the numerous new long-distance bus routes are leading to a greater demand for solutions” said Florian Kempff, Managing Director of IPmotion GmbH. “Here we also offer fleet operators in Germany a comparatively low-cost dual solution for customer service with wireless Internet, which also supports a manufacturer-independent analysis of fleet operation data. In addition to this, after the successful completion of our joint equipping project, we can build on our valuable project experience in the bus market with partners such as WLAN-partner.com”.
