Boingo Wireless will connect travelers at major airports this summer with its Passpoint hotspots. Passpoint is a Next Generation Hotspot (NGH) technology that automatically connects travelers to Wi-Fi with no login or passwords required.
“Passpoint is a game changer for airports as it offers travelers the easiest way to access a secure Wi-Fi connection with blazing-fast speeds,” said Dawn Callahan, chief marketing officer for Boingo. “During the busy summer travel months consumers can turn to Passpoint to stream and surf with ease while avoiding expensive cellular roaming and data fees. The technology also unlocks Wi-Fi offload capabilities at airports to free up pressure on carrier networks.”
Boingo Wi-Fi subscribers, as well as Sprint and Charter Spectrum customers, are among consumers that can take advantage of automatic, seamless and secure connections at airports through Passpoint. More than 150,000 of Boingo’s hotspots, totaling more than one million, are Passpoint enabled.
