Core offering

Boingo Wireless designs, deploys, and operates converged wireless connectivity infrastructure — including Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), Wi-Fi, private 5G, towers, and public safety/ERCES networks — as a neutral host serving airports, stadiums, military bases, commercial properties, and other large venues. The company delivers these solutions through a Network as a Service (NaaS) model with predictable monthly fees, and also sells consumer Wi-Fi hotspot subscriptions to travelers and military personnel.

Product overview

Boingo Wireless offers a comprehensive suite of converged wireless connectivity solutions designed for large-scale venues and complex environments. The portfolio centers on five core technology pillars: Distributed Antenna System (DAS) & Small Cell, Wi-Fi, Private 5G, Towers, and Public Safety/ERCES. These solutions are deployed as a neutral host model, meaning multiple carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon) share the same infrastructure, enabling venues to avoid negotiating separate deals with each operator. The company operates under a Network as a Service (NaaS) model for many deployments, bundling design, installation, operation and maintenance into predictable monthly fees. The Better with Boingo partner ecosystem complements the core offerings by integrating software, hardware, security and IoT capabilities from certified partners. Boingo serves airports, transit stations, stadiums, military bases, hospitals, hotels, convention centers, and commercial properties worldwide.
