EXHIBIT A

 

iPass SmartConnect Description

 

iPass SmartConnect technology is delivered to Authorized Devices through a cloud-based platform (the “Platform”) comprising software elements on the mobile device and available over the Internet. iPass´ Platform gives control over the definition and management of mobility services configured to the Licensee’s specific needs. This architecture gives an Authorized Device choice in access services and serves as a bridge to functionality through use of extensible web services standards, while keeping the operational and financial burden on Licensee low by not requiring them to purchase, deploy and manage on-premises infrastructure, unless they so choose for purposes of adding additional functionality.

 

iPass Platform is designed to provide Licensee with reliability, flexibility, network security, policy enforcement, consolidated billing and scalability.

 

The technology consists of the following principal components:

 

i.

Foundation Services. Provide the basic capabilities needed for a cloud-based platform, including the ability to manage devices (add, remove, or change rights), authenticate devices to access the platform, authorize access to particular functions, or track and audit use of the platform.

 

ii.

Operational Services. Are built on top of the iPass Foundation Services platform, enabling Licensee to operate the various iPass´ market-facing offers, including device profile/configuration management, network directory management, account management, order management, usage management, support, billing and training.

 

iii.

Presentation Services. Impact how information is presented to devices accessing the Platform, usually through a web based portal. Presentation Services include web presentation, data validation, access control (controlling who can see and enter what).

 

iv.

v.

Curation Services. Ability of iPass platform to collect information about Open Networks and be able to decode the hotspot information and automate steps to connect to that Network.

 

vi.

High-Availability and Scalable Authentication Architecture. iPass´ relationships with network service providers enables iPass Platform to enable connectivity through multiple global networks . As a result, the cloud-based Platform reduces the risk of service interruptions associated with depending on only one service provider. Furthermore, iPass´ geographically distributed transaction centers act as a unified and fault-tolerant system that provides scalable and highly available device authentication and quality management information collection. Each point in the authentication process is designed with built-in redundancy and fail-over capabilities.

 

 

iPass SmartConnect SDK – necessary for adding iPass services to an application. The SDK may be used to integrate iPass functionalities into a specific application offered by a third-party application, and supports the following operating systems: Android and iOS.

 

iPass SmartConnect Client – iPass functional applications built on iPass SmartConnect SDK and supporting the following operating systems: Android and iOS.

 

iPass Curated Network – Curated Networks are open Networks that have been added to footprint using iPass Curation Services and can be accessed via the iPass SmartConnect software.
