Abstract iPass Inc was an American multinational company headquartered in Redwood Shores, California, that provided internet software and services. The firm was first incorporated in California in July 1996 and later reincorporated in Delaware in June 2000. The company's stock was added to the NASDAQ on July 24, 2003. History iPass was founded in January 1996 by Chris Moore, and was later replaced by Michael H. Mansouri, who took the position of Chairman, President and CEO in 1999, serving until 2001. Kenneth Denman succeeded Mansouri as President and CEO in 2001, later assuming the position of Chairman in 2003. In July 2003, the firm successfully issued its IPO, raising over $100 million. In 2004, the firm launched a policy orchestration initiative to integrate patch management, assessment and remediation of remote and mobile computers into its connectivity platform. In pursuing this initiative, iPass acquired two companies in 2004: Safe3w, which developed patented dynamic device “fingerprinting” technology, and Mobile Automation, which specialized in mobile device management. Two years later, iPass acquired GoRemote Internet Communications, a former rival in the corporate remote access market. In the midst of these acquisitions, iPass recorded year-end revenue growth, despite declining revenues from the company's traditional dial-up business. Overall, total revenues grew to $192 million by the end of 2007. In 2008, the company appointed Evan Kaplan as CEO and President to replace Denman. During Kaplan's tenure, the firm began to build a service delivery platform for its new enterprise mobility services. By January 2010, the company delivered the first version of its cloud-based platform, iPass Open Mobile. 2015 ushered in a change in the firm’s executive team, beginning with the appointment of Gary Griffiths to the position of CEO and President. Griffiths and his newly appointed Chief Commercial Officer, Patricia Hume, pursued a new growth strategy for mobile services, launching iPass Unlimited, a per-user, per-month, fixed fee subscription for unlimited Wi-Fi usage. The firm also expanded its network of global hotspots by 2015 from 18 million to 50 million. The company also undertook making enhancements to its products and applications. In November 2015, the firm announced proprietary technology, iPass SmartConnect. In February 2019 Pareteum closed its acquisition of iPass in an all-stock transaction.
