The WeFi S60 software application from Tel Aviv-based WeFi Inc. has been voted by the audience at the Forum Nokia Innovation event in Barcelona as the 2008 Forum Nokia Europe, Middle East and Africa Application of the Year. WeFi fought off competition from nine other applications from developers from different parts of Europe, Middle East and Africa.
WeFi enhances the wireless network user experience with mobile and portable devices. It provides a high performance, open global broadband virtual wireless network by combining a community-generated database, a smart connection manager and a dynamic Access Point/Hotspot directory.
After downloading and installing the software from WeFis website, when asked to choose an access point, users can select Automatic WeFi, and WeFi will connect their device to the best connection. Users can connect to a growing list of more than 10 million wi-fi access points across 215 countries and territories.
Forum Nokia is dedicated to provide technical and business support services for innovators like WeFi and is excited to continue putting applications like this in front of consumers, says Seppo Oksa, Director, Forum Nokia EMEA. WeFi is a great example of an innovative solution utilizing Nokia platforms and the power of the community to enhance mobile end user experience.
