Boingo
Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ: WIFI), the leading distributed antenna
system (DAS), small cells and Wi-Fi provider that serves carriers,
consumers, property owners and advertisers worldwide, has topped
the list in Ookla’s latest “Fastest Airport Wi-Fi” report. Boingo’s
airport partners made up half of the top 40 U.S. airports with the
fastest Wi-Fi, with four ranking in the top five. This includes
Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, which ranked No.
1 on Ookla’s list, Chicago Midway International Airport, Nashville
International Airport and Phoenix Sky Harbor International
Airport.
“Fast Wi-Fi is essential to the travel experience and Boingo is
there to meet this demand with fast, seamless connectivity,” said
Dawn Callahan, chief marketing officer, Boingo. “Our prominence in
Ookla’s ranking is a testament to Boingo’s commitment to helping
world-class airports improve the passenger journey.”
Ookla’s rankings were based on its Speedtest Intelligence™ data
that analyzed large airports during Q1-Q2 2019. Mean download and
upload speeds over an airport’s Wi-Fi SSID were examined to
determine winners. Boingo-branded networks, as well as the
company’s white label and Passpoint Secure networks, were
recognized. Passpoint is a Next Generation Hotspot (NGH) technology
that automatically connects travelers to Wi-Fi with no log-in or
passwords required, much like the seamless and secure Wi-Fi
experience at the home or office. Passpoint facilitates carrier
offloading to Wi-Fi, alleviating pressure on cellular networks and
helping carriers accommodate rising mobile data traffic.
Boingo Wi-Fi is available at more than one million hotspots
around the world at places that include airports, hotels, malls,
coffee shops, stadiums and more. For a simplified experience,
consumers can download the Boingo Wi-Finder app, which displays
Wi-Fi location maps and sends hotspot notifications to mobile
devices, among other features. Boingo powers wireless connectivity
with a technology-agnostic approach. Its suite of wireless
solutions include Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 6, 5G, private LTE/CBRS, IoT and
Passpoint.
