AirPatrol develops a suite of location-based security and services platforms for cellular and WiFi mobile devices and has customers in a broad range of enterprises and government organizations worldwide. The company also opened an Asia-Pacific regional office earlier this month.
“Brazil and several other countries in Latin America have become some of our fastest growing markets,” said Cleve Adams, AirPatrol’s CEO. “Having a physical presence in the region led by a professional of Fernando Fontao’s caliber will allow us to better support our existing customers and pursue the numerous opportunities AirPatrol has there.”

“I’m excited to join the AirPatrol team and lead our business efforts in Latin America,” Fontao said. “We have some of the fastest growing economies on the globe and mobile usage is exploding. The opportunities for AirPatrol products here are virtually unlimited,” he added.
AirPatrol develops precision locationing software and systems that allow organizations to identify mobile phones, tablets and wireless devices within buildings and enforce security policies or push services and information to the device based on where and who its user is. AirPatrol’s ZoneDefense location-based mobile security platform is used by government agencies, research and development firms and large enterprises around the globe. AirPatrol’s ZoneAware platform allows retailers, healthcare providers, service and entertainment firms and other organizations to enable applications and access to information via mobile phones and tablets as they enter and exit “hot zones” as small as six feet across.
