May 17 2017 - 9:00AM
Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ:WIFI), the leading DAS, small cell and
Wi-Fi provider that serves consumers, carriers and advertisers
worldwide, today announced that it has been named a winner in the
Light Reading 2017 Leading Lights Awards for the “Outstanding
Transformation Strategy” category. Boingo was recognized for
undergoing a significant strategic transformation in recent years
that moved the company from a predominantly standalone
subscriber-based retail Wi-Fi business to a model that acquires
wireless rights at large venues, builds out Wi-Fi, Distributed
Antenna Systems (DAS) and small cell networks at those venues and
monetizes them through innovative products and services, such as
carrier offload, small cells and Wi-Fi for the military.
“The Boingo transformation story includes the launch of a Wi-Fi
business for the military, becoming the largest provider of indoor
DAS networks and responding to the incredible demand for mobile
data with Wi-Fi offload services for carriers,” said David Hagan,
chairman and CEO, Boingo. “The majority of our revenue today is a
result of our transformation, underscoring the strategy’s impact.
We are incredibly honored by this award win and share it with all
Boingo colleagues who are at the foundation of our success.”
