Aptilo to Acquire Airpath Wireless

Aptilo Networks said Monday it is acquiring Airpath Wireless Inc. for an undisclosed sum.

The move doubles Sweden-based Aptilo’s presence and revenue in the United States, the company said, and strengthens its status as a provider of integrated platforms for WiMAX, metro Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi hotspot installations. Airpath is a provider of hosted solutions for network operators, service providers and systems integrators to deploy and manage metropolitan and municipal broadband wireless networks.

The acquisition further bolsters Aptilo’s existing software license and managed service offerings with the addition of Airpath’s managed service solutions.

“There is tremendous opportunity for integrated broadband wireless solutions. We expect the Wi-Fi/WiMAX market will experience significant growth, fueled by an increasing number of devices with built-in Wi-Fi/WiMAX technology,” said Torbjorn Ward, CEO of, Aptilo Networks. “This will attract many new types of users and new services. In this market, it is essential to continue to build on economy of scale and Aptilo’s proven stability, and our already established profitability. This is key for our customers and business partners.”

As part of the transaction, Aptilo and Airpath will unite their operations, staff and customer base. Aptilo will be looking at the strengths and functionalities of both companies to enhance the product/service offerings delivered through a platform with proven stability and carrier-grade service level – offered globally in more than 35 countries from Aptilo’s Network Operation Centers in the United States, Europe and Asia or as a software license.
