BERKELEY, CA – September 4, 2014 – DataXoom Corp. the first value-added wholesaler of mobile data services for medium- and large-sized businesses, announced today that John Tantum, CEO, will speak at Super Mobility Week, North America’s largest forum for mobile innovation. Mr. Tantum will lead a panel discussion titled MNO-Led Models in Payments and Commerce on September 10.
Super Mobility Week is North America’s largest mobile event, with over 35,000 attendees and over 1,100 exhibitors. Super Mobility Week comprises several coincident events, including CTIA 2014™, The Money Event, and MobileCON, and will take place during September 9-11 at the Las Vegas Sands Expo & Convention Center.
“As the first wholesale provider of mobile data services for enterprises, DataXoom is a leading innovator in the mobile industry,” said Tantum. “We look forward to discussing our unique approach to working with mobile operators and our customers during Super Mobility Week.”
“We are proud to have the most distinguished leaders from both the Mobile and Money ecosystems supporting our program”, said Aditya Khurjekar, co-founder of the The Money Event. “John represents decades of pioneering successes in the wireless industry.”
DataXoom provides cellular data network connectivity for the tablets, mobile hotspots, laptops, and specialty devices used by mid- and large-sized businesses, and runs on the nations’ largest LTE, CDMA and GSM networks.
Compared to purchasing directly from the mobile network operators, DataXoom offers businesses several important advantages:
- DataXoom has no contracts or termination penalties.
- DataXoom’s wholesale pricing options include pay-as-you-go plans, 2 to 10 GB plans that pool across all users, and larger terabyte (TB) plans that can be customized for specific pricing requirements.
- DXTM, DataXoom’s proprietary management platform, allows an administrator to manage users through a single web interface across multiple underlying mobile networks. It provides end user authentication, data limits, and alerts.
- DataXoom can provide affordable new or refurbished devices, or customers can select SIM-only options. DataXoom also offers tablet-and-service bundles, in which the lease cost of the device is packaged with the monthly data service. Other services, such as configuration, warranty, and repair services, can be added.
DataXoom’s service operates on three of the four largest U.S. mobile network operators, and is available nationwide.
John Tantum is CEO of DataXoom. John founded and was president of Virgin Mobile USA, the pioneering “virtual” network operator that went public in 2007 with over 5 million customers, and was acquired by T-Mobile in 2009. John is an accomplished entrepreneur and is chairman of mobile payments provider Wipit, co-founder of mobile email company Peek, and co-founder of e-book marketing company Livrada.
