Maxim analyst Allen Klee assumed iPass (IPAS) with a Buy rating and a price target of $1.25, citing its improved outlook for new offerings and lower network access costs. Klee points to the company's position as "the largest global Wi-Fi network" with advantages such as "secure network access, easy sign-ups, and hotspot identification", offsetting its declines in legacy Wi-Fi with new pricing plan contracts with mobile virtual network operators, loyalty plans, and Veri-Fi - the new suite of data analytics products. The analyst further notes iPass' new partnerships with Tech Data (TECD) and Pareteum (TEUM), which are adding to its revenues and reducing churn.
