Hotels

Becoming a Boingo^®-enabled hotel lets you offer super convenience, a valuable new service for your guests AND generate extra revenue in the process. High-speed wireless Internet access is in high demand, and no one offers service that's easier or more complete than Boingo. Our software connects users with Wi-Fi, the most popular standard for wireless networks worldwide. With Wi-Fi, your guests will be able to access the Internet instantly and at super high speeds, whether in the lobby, restaurant, meeting rooms or their own suites.


Enabling Boingo customer access to your network adds value to your hotel in a number of ways.

1. Additional guest stays driven by the Boingo location database. Once a part of our network, your hotel address and phone number will be included in the Boingo Location Directory that is being installed on millions of laptops and handhelds with the Boingo software. This means mobile professionals, proven to be highly motivated by our service, will be able to locate your hotel's network during a search-an easy and excellent way to market your hotel to mobile professionals.



2. Incremental Connection Revenue. Boingo pays enabled hotels monthly for aggregate connections used by Boingo customers. (Boingo will only buy connections in locations that charge for access.)



3. Incremental Bounty Revenue. Boingo pays enabled hotels bounties whenever new users sign up for subscription.



4. Point-of-sale Marketing Materials. Boingo provides hotels with free point-of-purchase marketing materials to promote the use of your wireless service and encourage new user sign-ups. Marketing materials will include customer sign-up and awareness generating materials such as brochures, table tents and stickers for the hotel lobby and reception desk.



5. Technical Support. Boingo will provide an 800 number for customer and technical support-removing any cost or inconvenience to hotel staff.
