Boingo Expands Wireless Airports Presence

Company announces roaming agreement with Opti-Fi Networks to allow its members wireless Internet services at 30 North American airports.

Wi-Fi service provider Boingo Wireless today extended the number of hotspots their user base can roam to. A deal with Opti-Fi Networks adds wireless networks at 30 North American airports.

This agreement, Boingo said, allows for high speed wireless Internet access at American and Canadian airports including “Albany, NY, International Airport; Edmonton, Alberta, International Airport; Hamilton, Ontario, International Airport; Jackson Hole, WY, Airport, and many others from coast to coast. It also includes access at Airtran Airways gates at many major airports including Atlanta-Hartsfield International Airport; Baltimore-Washington International Airport; Chicago Midway Airport; and Miami International Airport.”

Future plans will bring an additional 28 airports into the fold. This will bring Boingo’s airport presence to 93 in North America and 169 worldwide.

“Airports are high-value locations because they are such natural and convenient locations for Wi-Fi usage, which makes adding as many airports as possible to the Boingo network a key strategy in our network development,” said Colby Goff, senior vice president of network strategy for Boingo. “Partnering with top-tier providers such as Opti-Fi enables us to fulfill this objective with high-quality networks.”

“Boingo is a premier global Wi-Fi company, and we are excited to be partnering with such a leader and innovator in the wireless market,” said Roland Muse, Opti-Fi’s chief executive officer. “As we strive to meet the demands of the airport market, we will continue to deliver enhanced connectivity and convenience to Boingo’s customers.”
