ICOA and Boingo Wireless Announce Wi-Fi Roaming Agreement for Airports Boingo Wireless Roams to Regional Airports with ICOA's Airport Network Solutions WARWICK, R.I., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ICOA, Inc., (OTC BULLETIN BOARD: ICOA.OB - News), today announced a roaming agreement with Boingo Wireless to add the airport Wi-Fi networks of ICOA's subsidiary, Airport Network Solutions (ANS), to the Boingo(TM) Roaming System. ANS networks at Sacramento International Airport (CA) and Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (GA) will join the Boingo Roaming System soon and will be followed shortly by Baton Rouge Airport (LA). Together, these airports service over 11 million passengers annually. The success of ANS in deploying networks at smaller "origination and destination" airports, those with between 2.5 million and 10 million passengers, reflects the increased acceptance and demand for Wi-Fi services by business travelers. "Wi-Fi services are not just for the biggest airports any more -- business travelers now expect Wi-Fi in all airports they visit. As equipment costs decrease and user demand increases, all airports can deploy profitable high- quality networks that their visitors will come to rely on," said Dave Hagan, Boingo president and COO. "ANS is well positioned to leverage this trend toward everywhere Wi-Fi access and we look forward to working with them as they grow." ANS is a neutral-host provider that partners with airports to design, install, operate, maintain, and manage facility-wide public Wi-Fi networks. The company's turnkey service manages all authentication, customer support, billing, reconciliation and in-building roaming. This wireless infrastructure can be branded by the airport and also opened up to Wi-Fi aggregators and wireless ISPs as part of their own branded services. "Airports are demanding open access networks that bring the most benefit to passengers and workers, and with this agreement ANS is demonstrating its commitment to being a vendor-neutral Wi-Fi service provider," said Rick Schiffmann, CEO of ANS. "We chose Boingo for our first roaming agreement because the company has distinguished itself as the leading aggregator with an unmatched footprint and consumer experience." "ICOA is extremely excited to be working with an industry leader like Boingo. We intend to expand this Wi-Fi relationship to cover other venues, such as: hotels, marinas, and restaurant chains, in which ICOA is the Wi-Fi solutions provider," stated George Strouthopoulos, CEO of ICOA. He added, "We agree with Boingo's vision that Wi-Fi will be ubiquitous in high-traffic areas, and we're excited to be working with them to make this vision a reality."
