iPass (NASDAQ:IPAS), a leading provider of global mobile connectivity and location technology announced that it has been chosen by a major multinational airline in Latin America to provide connectivity for its pilots.

The company said that the airline employees with the help of its iPass SmartConnect can enjoy optimal connectivity on air as well as on ground.

As quoted in the press release:

The partnership will keep the airline’s pilots automatically connected to the best data network available, ensuring productivity and security while providing the pilots with a valued employee benefit.

Using iPass SmartConnect, the airline’s pilots will be able to seamlessly and securely connect to millions of iPass Wi-Fi hotspots, automatically transitioning back to cellular when Wi-Fi is not available.
