iPassConnect service delivers outstanding coverage while reducing
wireless expenses
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
iPass, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), a long-time leader in providing
mobility services to the world's largest companies, today announced
the availability of its iPassConnect mobility service for individuals
(www.ipassconnect.com). The iPassConnect service is unique in unifying
Wi-Fi hotspots and 3G data in the US, and also includes wired hotel
broadband and global dial-up. Now, businesspeople and consumers can
buy a subscription-based service directly from iPass to stay connected
and productive virtually anywhere in the world.

iPass enterprise connectivity services, built to meet the needs of
the world's most demanding companies and based on the world's largest
multi-technology mobility network, are already used regularly by more
than one million businesspeople around the globe. The iPassConnect
mobility service extends this business-class connectivity to
individuals, giving subscribers unlimited access to the world's
largest wireless broadband network. With one click, users can access
Wi-Fi hotspots in over 95,000 business-friendly locations worldwide as
well as 3G mobile broadband service across the U.S.--all for one fixed
monthly fee.

"As a director for an advertising agency, I'm often on the road
visiting clients and going to photo shoots," said Kelly Olsen at Rare
Method, a leading interactive marketing firm. "Not only is it
frustrating figuring out where to get connected and how to sign up for
service each time, but I worry about the costs of Wi-Fi subscriptions
as well as racking up high bills while on business trips. With the
iPassConnect service, I have don't have to worry. They have more Wi-Fi
locations than I could ever use and 3G for everywhere else. I just
login and still get work done without worrying about the bill."

Signing up is easy. Simply visit www.ipassconnect.com to register,
choose a username and password, and install the iPassConnect software
to immediately begin using the service. Users that order a Wi-Fi/3G
combo plan will be sent a pre-configured 3G card that will
plug-and-play in their laptop.

Mobile Workers Need a Better Way

Since most Wi-Fi hotspot services have limited coverage, mobile
professionals often must cobble together access through a complicated
and expensive combination of high hourly or day rates and individual
subscriptions for their favorite cafes, local airport, and preferred
hotel chains. With broadband speeds generally only available outdoors
and in major cities, 3G alone is not a complete solution either.

iPass combines Wi-Fi and 3G into one simple service so that busy
road warriors cam choose the option that best suits their situation.
Users can access nearly 1,000 hotspots in more than 500 airports,
including 83 of the world's 100 busiest; more than 20,000 hotels such
as Hyatt, Hilton and Marriot; and more than 70,000 retail locations
including Starbucks coffeehouses and McDonald's restaurants. iPass'
nationwide 3G network provides data rates of up to 1.4 Mbps with
coverage reaching over 230 million people in the U.S. As a last
resort, subscribers can take advantage of iPass' global dial-up
network to make local modem calls in over 160 countries.

A Complete Solution for the Mobile Lifestyle

More than just access, the iPassConnect service addresses the
end-to-end mobile experience. The iPassConnect mobile user portal
(http://connect.ipass.com) provides valuable tools and information
including hotspot locators for laptops (http://ipass.com/hotspot) and
handhelds (http://www.ipass.com/mobilehotspot), (see iPass'
announcement of its Handheld Hotspot Finder today), 3G coverage maps,
articles on the mobile lifestyle, and helpful tips on how to make the
most of the mobile working experience.

"While many companies give their employees a complete enterprise
mobility service such as iPass Mobile Office, others leave users to
fend for themselves," said Joel Wachtler, VP of marketing and strategy
at iPass. "The iPassConnect mobility service gives these
businesspeople the best of both worlds - a world-class network
delivered in a simple and affordable package."

iPassConnect service is available immediately for laptops running
Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 with price plans starting
at $29.95/month. Handheld support for Windows Mobile is due to be
released this spring followed by additional laptop and handheld
platforms.
