Boingo Connects Millions of Travelers To Fast, Free Wi-Fi Over Holiday Season
December 12 2016 - 9:00AM
Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ:WIFI), the leading DAS and Wi-Fi provider
that serves consumers, carriers and advertisers worldwide, will
connect millions of passengers to fast, free Wi-Fi over the peak
holiday travel season. During the Thanksgiving weekend alone,
millions of Boingo Wi-Fi connections were made around the globe,
ensuring travelers stayed connected to flight updates, sports
scores, weather, and of course, cat videos.
“When it comes to connectivity over the holidays,
Boingo has you covered," said Dawn Callahan, chief marketing
officer at Boingo. “Whether you're flying to make a last-minute
sales pitch before the end of the year, or simply getting home for
the holidays, Boingo delivers fast, free Wi-Fi for every passenger,
plus premium Wi-Fi options for power users."
“Boingo is the lifeline to connectivity at
airports,” said Peter Shankman, bestselling author of Zombie
Loyalists: Using Great Service to Create Rabid Fans and frequent
business traveler who is on the road hundreds of days per year.
“From sending large presentations just before takeoff to streaming
my favorite show during a delay, Boingo is my reliable travel
companion over the holidays and year round.”
Boingo has invested millions of dollars to upgrade
its Wi-Fi networks at major airports throughout the U.S. These
upgrades deliver Boingo’s next generation Wi-Fi solutions,
including its S.M.A.R.T. Network design and Passpoint
connectivity.
S.M.A.R.T Networks—which stands for Secure,
Multiplatform, Analytics-Driven, Responsive and Tiered—feature
various speed options to meet the varying connectivity needs of
travelers. Fast, free Wi-Fi is available to all passengers,
typically in exchange for watching a brief advertisement. For
business travelers who need the airport to function as an extension
of their office, premium Wi-Fi with speeds of up to 50 Mbps is
available.
Passpoint technology is also making it easier than
ever to get connected to Wi-Fi. Travelers with a Boingo Passpoint
profile on their device will automatically connect to Wi-Fi with no
log-in or passwords required, much like connecting at home or the
office. Passpoint also comes with built-in encryption, which turns
otherwise open public hotspots into a secure connection. Today,
more than 150,000 of Boingo's 1MM+ hotspots are Passpoint-enabled,
making it simple and easy to get online. Sprint customers, Time
Warner Cable customers—now Charter Spectrum—and Boingo subscribers
now enjoy automatic, seamless, secure connections at the airport
through Passpoint.
In 2016, Boingo was named “Best WiFi Service” in
the Global Traveler 13th annual GT Tested Reader Survey awards. The
recognition marks the sixth consecutive and seventh time Boingo has
received the prestigious honor for its blazing fast Wi-Fi.
Now through Dec. 31, 2016, Android phone and tablet
users can receive six months of Boingo Wi-Fi at thousands of
hotspots through an exclusive offer with Amazon Underground. To
