eKomi partners up with Frederix Hotspot

The Berlin-based review service provider eKomi is investing in an owner-managed technology company from Hanover: With the acquisition of a strategic company stake in W-LAN hotspot specialist FREDERIX Hotspot, eKomi aims to further expand the number of its now over 100 million customer reviews and takes the next step in becoming a fully integrated feedback system.

“FREDERIX and eKomi complement each other perfectly,” says eKomi CEO Michael Ambros. “400,000 users go online daily via FREDERIX in 15 countries with over 6000 hotspots. In all hotspots, eKomi reviews can be accessed in the future and also created by the users themselves.”

FREDERIX Hotspots Managing Director Jonathan Sauppe: “Our Wi-Fi networks are the ideal tool for eKomi to increase its reach. We are pleased to offer a strong WLAN hotspot technology solution to eKomi’s customer base so they can generate even more reviews.”

The trend is clearly on the rise according to Sauppe: “One of the reasons for this is the increasing number of public and private WLAN hotspots.” By 2022, Sauppe said, the global number of public Wi-Fi hotspots will rise to more than 400 million – seven times more than in 2015, and the EU has also supported the establishment of free public Wi-Fi hotspots.
