Hawaii Tourism Authority Selects Boingo for
Cellular Services at 1.1 Million Square Foot Convention Center
Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ: WIFI), the leading distributed antenna
system (DAS) and Wi-Fi provider, has been selected by the Hawaii
Tourism Authority to design, build, operate and maintain a neutral
host cellular and public safety DAS network for the Hawaii
Convention Center (HCC). The long term, 10-year agreement will
bring improved cellular coverage and capacity to the 1.1 million
square foot facility and help HCC accommodate connectivity demands
of the 5G era.
“Boingo is pleased to add HCC to our growing DAS portfolio of
premier convention centers, airports, stadiums and transportation
hubs,” said Doug Lodder, senior vice president, general manager of
carrier services at Boingo. “Our 5G-ready, neutral host approach
will allow for multiple carriers to access the DAS network, keeping
more visitors and staff connected to enhance the guest
experience.”
After extensive evaluation, the Hawaii Tourism Authority chose
Boingo for its technical and operational expertise. Boingo is the
largest provider of indoor DAS networks in the U.S. The company’s
contract with HCC adds to its DAS and Wi-Fi footprint in Hawaii,
which covers five major airports, including Daniel K. Inouye
International (HNL) and Kahului Airport (OGG), three military bases
and a multifamily community.
Located in the Waikiki neighborhood of Honolulu, HCC can
accommodate up to 13,000 event attendees. There are 47 meeting
rooms, a 200,000 square foot exhibit hall, two-tiered seating
theaters, a 35,000 square foot ballroom and 2.5-acre landscaped
rooftop terrace. Boingo’s DAS network will help ensure seamless
consumer connectivity and first responder communications for the
entire event space.
