Boingo Wireless Increases Airport Wi-Fi Speeds

Boingo Wireless is at it again, ensuring that they cement their position as the leading Wi-Fi and DAS provider worldwide by announcing that travelers will be able to enjoy fast and more importantly, free Wi-Fi at selected airports in the US. Just how much speed are we talking about over here? We are looking at blazing-fast speeds of up to 20 Mbps, ensuring that even power users will be pleased as punch.

The rollout of such faster speeds happen to be a part of Boingo’s innovative S.M.A.R.T. network approach. S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Secure, Multiplatform, Analytics-Driven, Responsive and Tiered, where the “Tiered” portion of a SMART Network will be able to deliver different speed options, based on the traveler’s needs. Regardless, every single passenger will be able to enjoy speedy Wi-Fi access for free, and power users who require their airport Wi-Fi to function like an extension of their home or office environment will be able to place a selection from an array of paid options, including speeds of 20Mbps all the way to 50Mbps.

The entirety of Boingo subscribers, including those enrolled in the American Express Preferred Plan, will be able to enjoy the highest tier of speed upon logging in – automatically. The fastest ever airport Wi-Fi service from Boingo will be available at the following airports – Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Boston – Logan International (BOS), Chicago – Midway International (MDW), Chicago – O’Hare International (ORD), New York – John F. Kennedy International (JFK), New York – LaGuardia International (LGA), and Newark Liberty International (EWR). [Press Release]
