Last month, WiWide was listed as a major third-party service provider for WeChat’s public account WiFi connection program. The company just announced a benchmark Series C financing of RMB300 million (US$49 million) from Tencent and Dianping, adding that WiWide is the only one amongst its WiFi solutions peers to receive funding under the program. WiWide, one of the earliest entrants to the Chinese public WiFi solution sector, was founded in 2007 by serial entrepreneur Jerry Zhang. Unlike other rivals, WiWide aims to create an integrated process, offering Wi-Fi network service programming products and services, Wi-Fi network equipment, installation and 24-hour telephone maintenance support, and business development. 4) WiWide is cooperating with a raft of companies like Tencent, Dianping and Xiaomi to enable convenient login and further Wi-Fi applications.
