The Minister of Universities, Research and Innovation of the Regional Government of Andalusia, José Carlos Gómez Villamandos, has officially visited the headquarters of Galgus, the Sevillian smart Wi-Fi company, in the Sevillian municipality of Camas.
A visit that he made accompanied by Ricardo Sánchez, Government Delegate of Junta de Andalucía in Seville, and Francisco Marín, from GED Conexo Ventures.
This visit demonstrates the Andalusian government’s support for one of the leading and most disruptive companies in the Wi-Fi landscape worldwide, which has just celebrated its tenth anniversary.
A support that, above all, is reflected in the fact that it has won the tender of Junta de Andalucía to deploy its equipment and technology in the 10,500 public buildings of the Andalusian administration.
During the morning, the Minister had the opportunity to see from the founders of Galgus, José González and José Antonio Alfonso, the value it brings to the different sectors of the more than 24 countries in which it is based. Galgus has prestigious clients such as Telefónica, Boeing, Barceló Hotels, Cellnex, Adif, Netoip and Icomera, among others.
A reality that is due, above all, to its Cognitive Hotspot Technology (CHT) which, installed in the access points, manages to increase the speed of the WiFi connection by five times by making them communicate with each other and work together.
On the other hand, its Location & Presence Analytics solution offers 95% accuracy in detecting and geolocating Wi-Fi devices, whether or not they are connected to the network. A tool that is very well received by its customers, as it allows them to reliably know the behavior of people in a specific environment and make decisions based on it.
These solutions are developed from numerous patents of their own and make use of the latest innovations in artificial intelligence, offering unique results in the market, and which have been recognized through various awards and international mentions, in addition to the support and loyalty of their users. Looking to the near future, Galgus plans to continue with an expansion strategy through which it will reach 400 employees and 40 million in sales by 2025, strengthening its presence in key markets, such as the United States.
