ESPOO, FINLAND: Joikusoft, a mobile software development house and makers of the mobile Wi-Fi HotSpot software Joikuspot, today announced the collaboration with FON, the world's largest WiFi community, to release an exclusive version of Joikusoft's mobile hotspot solution, named FonSpot.

According to the company, this software would turn a mobile phone into a Wi-Fi HotSpot, enabling any laptop, iPod Touch, Internet tablet or other Wi-Fi device to connect to the Internet using any compatible mobile phone as a secure high-speed Internet gateway.

FonSpot with Wi-Fi would effectively replace Bluetooth, cable and USB dongles to access the Internet using mobile phones and 3G connectivity.

The FonSpot is a fully secure mobile Internet HotSpot solution, and makes use of the maximum security offered by the underlying Symbian OS platform, it said in a press release.

The users have full control over who will be able to access their FonSpot's wireless Internet connection.

Tom Ojala, founder and chairman, Joikusoft, said, "FON is a perfect companion to roll out wireless Wi-Fi access in mobile phones as FON already has an established user base of hundreds of thousands of physical FON Wi-Fi base-stations."

He said FON users will now enjoy even broader access to internet wherever they are, literally carrying Internet in their pocket.

Alexander Puregger, FON's director, business development, said, "FON is very glad to work with Joikusoft as the company is proving to be an innovative contributor to the proliferation of Wi-Fi. And FON is all about WiFi everywhere!"
