As a virtual WISP with a continent-wide network, Trustive is Europe's first WLAN marketing and sales organisation. Trustive aims to introduce high-speed wireless internet access in the European and Asian business-to-business markets. As a first step, Trustive has established partner programmes on both continents through which WISPs can use the company's marketing activities and generated sales.

"Our post-paid subscription business model requires a backend system capable of managing numerous, complex roaming arrangements as well partnerships and billing," said Gavin Dresselhuis, Managing Director of Trustive. "The advanced roaming engine and innovative pricing and billing functionalities were major factors in the selection of SAB Server as our backend system. The SAB Server enables us to control and manage all roaming transactions and related billing and revenue shares with our WISP partners. We can also create flexible pricing packages for our corporate subscribers and easily manage subscriber hierarchies."

Wificom's new SAB Server 4 is a J2EE-based carrier-grade WLAN service management system integrating service creation, billing, rating, roaming, customer care, reporting, device independent content delivery and value-added, location-based services. Wificom will also deliver to Trustive smart client software, which delivers to end-users a searchable hot-spot database, one-click login and logout, as well as real-time access to subscriber account information and usage statistics.((Distributed via M2 Communications Ltd - http://www.m2.com))
