Boingo Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ: WIFI), the Wi-Fi industry’s

Travelers abroad can now gain access, via the AT&T Wi-Fi
International App, to Boingo’s global network of Wi-Fi hotspots
managed and operated by Boingo’s subsidiary, Concourse
Communications Group. The AT&T Wi-Fi International App lets
AT&T customers on applicable data global packages access up to
1GB of Wi-Fi each month at no additional charge.*
The total Boingo managed and operated network reaches more than
1.5 billion people worldwide annually. Boingo Wi-Fi hotspots at
major international airports are available to AT&T customers
today, with service continuing to expand throughout 2013.
Additionally, as part of the agreement, Boingo customers
traveling in the United States will also be able to access
AT&T’s network of Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the country,
including airports, restaurants, sporting arenas and retail
locations.
“We’re committed to keeping our customers connected to the
people, places and information that matter most, which is why we’re
pleased that many of them can now seamlessly connect to Boingo’s
global Wi-Fi during their travels abroad,” said JR Wilson, vice
president, Partnerships and Alliances, AT&T Mobility.
“AT&T’s domestic Wi-Fi network helps fill in the gaps for
Boingo users actively seeking Wi-Fi hotspots,” said Howard Buzick,
vice president of business development for Boingo Wireless. “With
the explosion in both Wi-Fi enabled devices and customer data
demand, Wi-Fi roaming continues to be a key facilitator for global
data access.”
