Since that time we have delivered WiFi to more than 1,500 buildings in 120 locations with more than 120,000 devices connecting to our networks each month. Each network has different complexities based on location and the make up of sites so it is critical we constantly innovate in order to deliver the superfast WiFi to any business,” said Aubone Tennant, Co-CEO, Wifinity.
