Vodafone, SpiderCloud Build Enterprise 3G Networks

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- SpiderCloud Wireless, a leading provider of in-building, mobile-broadband technology, announced that with the support of Vodafone, it has launched its small-cell wireless system in the United Kingdom.

The enhanced, indoor 3G network is now live in a number of UK-headquartered enterprises.

SpiderCloud's innovative technology—which allows mobile operators to rapidly deliver enhanced cellular coverage and additional network capacity inside buildings, as well as the possibility to deliver "smart" applications via the cloud in the near future — was incubated inside Vodafone Group's Research and Development division over two years. As part of this process, Vodafone helped the company assess the commercial need for the solution, provided laboratory facilities and helped run both technical and field trials.

"As more businesses use mobile devices as the primary way for employees to communicate, and these devices consume more and more data, high-speed cellular coverage is business-critical—particularly inside busy office buildings," said Mike Gallagher, SpiderCloud's chief executive officer. "This product provides businesses with an affordable, easy-to-install solution that enables employees to make the most of their mobile devices where ever they may be."
