Through this agreement, iPass and HP make it simpler and more affordable for users in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) to connect to the Internet locally, and stay connected when they travel. Customers who purchase new HP notebook and tablet PCs with this option will be able to register and automatically get access to millions of hotspots on the iPass global Wi-Fi network** for one year at no additional cost. The first of HP’s products with this option should be available from October 2014***.

“People want easy access to stay connected to what matters to them most,” said Evan Kaplan, President and CEO, iPass. “We believe HP’s strength in the notebook and tablet business combined with the iPass global Wi-Fi network and easy to use apps will provide a powerful experience for consumers to connect to Wi-Fi while traveling.
