Today, the iPhone is the most popular device utilizing our breakthrough Wi-Fi solution."

Devicescape works at hundreds of thousands of hotspots worldwide by supporting more than 400 public networks including the largest carriers in the world such as T-Mobile and AT&T, municipal and free networks, and nearly 100 university and college networks.
