Case Study: Deutsche Telekom achieves 3 million WiFi hotspots and WiFi Calling with Fontech

Deutsche Telekom reaches 3 million WiFi hotspots and offers innovative services

Deutsche Telekom, one of the world’s leading telecom companies, needed to expand connectivity for its customers and differentiate its offer as mobile data demand kept rising. To support this “innovation by collaboration” strategy, it partnered with Fontech and used its WiFi network technology to launch WLAN TO GO and related WiFi-based services.

Fontech enabled Deutsche Telekom to offer free WiFi access for broadband and mobile customers, WiFi calling through WLAN Calls, and pay-per-access access for non-customers. The solution scaled to 3 million hotspots across Germany and over 20 million worldwide, generating more than 400 TB of monthly WiFi traffic and helping create a stronger, more differentiated value proposition.
