IBN to Deploy Cloud of 5,000 Public Wi-Fi Hotspots

Inspired Broadcast Networks, a subsidiary of LLG of the UK, signed a contract with Ericsson calling for the deployment of 5,000 public Wi-Fi hotspots. Together with Ericsson, BT and Intel, IBN will create a network named “The Cloud” planned to expand to 30,000 hotspots over the next three years. IBN will sell wholesale capacity to branded service providers like mobile and broadband operators as well as pay-as-you-go services at the hotspots. The Cloud will use DSL as its primary backhaul from the hotspots.
