Aptilo Networks Enabling Wi-Fi Offload for World Cup 2014 in Brazil
STOCKHOLM, June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Anticipating a surge of user activity surrounding 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, three
operators in Brazil are working with Aptilo Networks [http://www.aptilo.com ], the leading
provider of mobile data offloading solutions, to enable Wi-Fi offloading and carrier Wi-Fi
throughout the country and in Maracana Stadium - the venue for the World Cup Final -- for
the millions of guests expected to attend this global sporting event.

TIM Brasil and Oi SA (NYSE: OIBR), two of the largest mobile operators in Brazil, are
using the Aptilo Service Management Platform
[http://www.aptilo.com/aptilo-service-management ](TM) (SMP) to provide a carrier Wi-Fi
[http://www.aptilo.com/carrier-wi-fi ] service with mobile data offloading. Aptilo is also
enabling carrier Wi-Fi services for Linktel, which operates the largest independent
network of hotspots in Brazil.
"Large-scale sporting events represent a significant opportunity for carriers to
generate revenue and increase branding with Wi-Fi offloading," said Jonas Jacobsson, VP
Sales Americas, Aptilo Networks. "Brazil will be host to some of the most exciting, highly
anticipated sporting events, and Aptilo will be working with operators to leverage these
opportunities, manage data traffic and ensure a great Wi-Fi user experience."
TIM Brasil and Oi will use Aptilo SMP to offload users from their mobile data networks
to a carrier-class Wi-Fi network. This decreases 3G congestion, enabling faster data
speeds. Users also enjoy a secure, "invisible" handoff from 3G to Wi-Fi with Aptilo SIM
Authentication, which authenticates users via the SIM card in their mobile device.
For Linktel, Aptilo SMP will enable and manage mobile data services across Linktel's
network of Wi-Fi hotspots across 2,300 access points.
With Aptilo SMP, operators can create custom-branded Wi-Fi portals for site- and
event-specific advertising and marketing initiatives. "Wi-Fi landing pages, login pages
and advertising can be branded to reflect the venue, teams, sporting events, even
sponsors," said Jacobsson. "Mobile operators can use these branded opportunities to reach
guests in a unique and memorable way. They can also leverage them as business-to-business
sales opportunities."
