[Satellite TODAY 10-17-11] Wireless networking software developer Connectify has entered into a strategic partnership with Iridium to offer the MSS operator’s AxcessPoint Connect offering to the mobile communications market, Iridium announced Oct. 14.
The Iridium AxcessPoint Connect software will use Connectify’s Wi-Fi sharing technology to enable satellite phone users to transform their laptop into a wireless hotspot and access the Iridium global network through their smartphones, tablets and other devices. Connectify said the software application was built on its proprietary architecture.
“Iridium’s customers are some of the most demanding users of wireless communications technology today, and Connectify is proud to enable their various devices to connect online, even in the most extreme situations,” Connectify CEO Alex Gizis said in a statement.
Iridium AxcessPoint Connect is a software access point developed exclusively for Iridium satellite phones with mobile data plans. Iridium AxcessPoint Connect automatically dials or disconnects the user’s satellite phone based on whether host or client devices are actively connected to minimize airtime costs and provide custom firewall controls.
