About Trustive

The growing number of WISPs worldwide offers increasingly ubiquitous Internet access for Wi-Fi users, with hotspots in public places such as airports, hotels, petrol stations, exhibition and conference centres, train stations and cafés. For the roaming Wi-Fi user, however, the reality is a disjointed and complex service with most WISPs having their own proprietary access method and billing model. Trustive provides a unified service which removes complexity for the end-user by providing easy access to all networks with the same familiar authentication method and billing procedure.
Trustive is Europe's leading wireless hotspot access provider. The Trustive network covers more than 24,000 hotspots worldwide through roaming agreements with over 65 hotspot operators including The Cloud, SFR, KPN Hotspots and Vodafone Italia. Coverage includes all major EU airports - London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, Berlin, Rome, Milan and 80 other European destinations. A complete and up-to-date list of all Trustive roaming partners can be found at http://corporate.trustive.com/customers/.
Through these roaming agreements, Trustive is meeting end-user demand for access to a global network of hotspots by offering a unified service through an easy-to-use user interface, providing the end-user with a single login and invoice. Trustive has both a Retail (www.trustive.com) and Wholesale (corporate.trustive.com) division.
Trustive is a privately-held company that was created in 2003, with headquarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and R&D facilities in Sophia-Antipolis, France.
