Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) February 18, 2016 -- BandwidthX, the cloud-based Wi-Fi marketplace, today announces that Risto Siilasmaa, the Chairman of Nokia, is joining the company’s Advisory Board.

“We are very happy to welcome Risto to our Advisory Board. His insights, experience, and strategic view of the rapidly evolving mobile space provides an invaluable perspective,” says Pertti Visuri, CEO of BandwidthX, “We are proud to have Risto on our high-caliber team of advisors and as a shareholder as we continue our journey to create growing value from the more efficient use of network capacity through BxMarket.”
“The innovation and impact that BandwidthX brings to the mobile and Wi-Fi space are very exciting.

About BandwidthX
BandwidthX operates a cloud-based marketplace where both Mobile Operators and Internet Service Providers can define their value for data capacity in real time and are automatically matched when their values align. BxMarket gives the Mobile Operators incremental data capacity at lower cost, while allowing the Internet service providers to profit from new revenue streams from their underutilized Wi-Fi networks. With this new form of micro-commerce, everyone in the Wi-Fi ecosystem wins: from Mobile Operators and hotspot service providers to equipment and software vendors, aggregators and financial clearing companies and, of course, the end user of the device.
