Hotspot Internet

Boingo Wi-Fi is designed to offer Internet to people at hotspots around the world. The company offers hundreds of thousands of wireless Internet connections at public buildings, hotels, cafes, restaurants and airports. Because Internet users require their computers at places other than home and work, Boingo aims to expand network coverage for greater convenience.

Single Account

When you sign up for Boingo, you have access to free and paid hotspots. Subscription types range from unlimited to per-minute; some, including the one-day connections, have specific time limits. With a single account, users have access to all hotspots within their designated region. The company also offers prepaid and global plans that allow subscribers to access any hotspot around the world. Pricing plan costs are determined by the subscription region and the number of wireless devices.

Traveler Convenience

For travelers who spend a great deal of time in airports, Boingo Wireless can be a viable Internet option. By offering a single wireless fee, Boingo allows frequent flyers to save money; instead of constantly paying a one-day use fee, subscribers have access to any Boingo hotspot. The value for travelers depends on the hub airports and common connection points; Boingo operates hotspots in nearly 1,500 airports around the world.

Application

To help users get online quickly, Boingo offers an application that subscribers can download to their computer or Internet-enabled device. With a single login, users can get online and add credit without going through the Boingo access website. The application also searches for nearby Boingo hotspots on GPS-enabled devices, making it easier to find Internet access.
