Devicescape, the leader in WiFi offload services, today announced that republic wireless, a division of Bandwidth.com, Inc., has selected the company to help deliver its disruptive new wireless service. Unlike traditional wireless operators who primarily use cellular networks for talk, text, and data, republic wireless phones utilize Hybrid Calling technology to leverage WiFi as the primary network with cellular as a backup only when needed. This inversion of the status quo supports the company's subscriber business model of $19 per month for unlimited voice, text and data.

Achieving high WiFi utilization is essential to this strategy, so republic wireless will leverage Devicescape's Offload Service including its 8 million strong Curated Virtual Network (CVN) of WiFi hotspots. The high density of the CVN combined with automated discovery leads to high rates of WiFi usage and improved economics for republic wireless.

Devicescape provides WiFi offload solutions for many mobile operators and device manufacturers around the globe. The economics of data over cellular is a growing issue within carrier organizations, particularly as consumption continues to skyrocket in the face of flattening revenues. Devicescape can help alleviate this issue when their Offload Service is integrated into an operator's overall service strategy, reducing expenses and improving subscriber services.
