Fon is the world's leading carrier WiFi provider. Pioneers of residential WiFi sharing, we revolutionised carrier WiFi with our technology, and together with leading telco operators globally, we have built the world's largest WiFi community. Today Fon interconnects more than 20 million community WiFi hotspots: Fon members share a bit of their home WiFi, and in turn get free access to millions of other WiFi hotspots worldwide. These hotspots are complemented with WiFi footprint across hundreds of thousands of prime public locations, to ensure we offer the best WiFi network available in the world. We sign WiFi roaming deals to facilitate access to our network for end-users, as well as via wholesale and carrier offloading. Fontech, the technology arm of Fon, is a leading WiFi software provider for operators and enterprises. Our suite of software-based solutions power our clients to build and operate their own WiFi services in a secure, scalable, and uniquely flexible way, enabling them to manage and deliver an exceptional WiFi experience to their customers, both in and out of the home.
