iPass forms relationships with ISPs around the world that have the highest quality Internet access networks and that provide access in far reaching locations. iPass provides software to segNET that enables these access networks to be available to you. This software facilitates secure routing of user authentication requests over the Internet between segNET and other providers.When you travel outside of our regular service area, you can dial into any of the worldwide iPass access points using your iPass connection software. You log in with your standard user name and password (your email address is your username, ie: john@yourdomain.com - be sure to use lower case for both username & password). Your authentication request is encrypted and sent over the Internet to your home provider's authentication server. The server checks your information and sends an authorization response (or denial if appropriate) back to the ISP you are dialing into so that you can gain access to the Internet. This process takes about five to ten seconds. iPass tracks the time you are connected to enable your ISP to accurately bill you for the services used.
