Become a Boingo^® Hot Spot and Profit from Wi-Fi!

“I want my Wi-Fi!”
Wi-Fi is rapidly becoming a standard part of portable computing devices, and tens of millions of consumers are already seeking hot spots where they can get online. In fact, many people now expect to find Wi-Fi access in the cafes, hotels, airports, convention centers and other places that they visit. Hot spots increase revenue for location owners, but most importantly, they increase foot traffic, customer loyalty and repeat business.

Becoming a Boingo Hot Spot
Turning your locations into commercial Wi-Fi hotspots is easy and inexpensive. Once your hotspots are part of the Boingo roaming system, you immediately tap the reach of Boingo’s extensive distribution network, which includes millions of potential users. That translates into millions of potential paying users of your hotspots, and it’s why Boingo leads the industry in roaming partnerships with hotspot operators around the world.

How to Get Started
One size doesn’t fit all, so Boingo has a number of partners and turnkey hotspot solutions to fit different kinds of locations. Pick your location type from the list below to learn more.

1. Hotels - No longer considered “optional”, business travelers now expect their hotels to offer Wi-Fi -- hotspot access is a prerequisite to customer loyalty and satisfaction. Hotel managers interested in becoming Boingo-enabled hotspots can: 1) Engage a current Boingo network partner to build the system; or 2) Become a Boingo Hot Spot Operator (HSO) and complete system development themselves.
2. Cafes/Restaurants/Business Centers/Retail Locations - Wi-Fi means increased foot traffic, repeat business and additional revenue to retail establishments. Busy customers want to be able to connect to the Internet wherever they go, so they expect to find hotspots at their favorite cafes, restaurants and retail locations. There are a number of methods for becoming a Boingo-enabled retail venue such as engaging a current Boingo network partner. All of these options are cost-effective, profitable and a home run with your customers.
3. Convention Centers - Convention centers host thousands of visitors a day during conferences and trade shows, and a large majority are already carrying Wi-Fi enabled devices. These visitors are away from the office, and they desperately want to connect to stay productive. Increasingly, they expect their convention centers to offer hotspot service. By becoming a Boingo-enabled Wi-Fi hotspot, a convention center can offer wireless broadband access to its attendees without affecting critical existing revenue from booth renters. It’s a fantastic way to keep attendees connected and happy and generate additional revenue.
4. Airports - Tens of millions of business travelers are carrying Wi-Fi-enabled laptops and PDAs, and they expect to find Wi-Fi hotspots in airports they visit. They see Wi-Fi access as an essential service, and without it, they lose time and productivity. Boingo already has coverage at airports such as Boston Logan, Seattle-Tacoma, San Jose, Austin-Bergstrom, LAX, Oakland, Newark, Laguardia and Minneapolis/St. Paul and many more. Hot spot service means additional revenue to the airport, not to mention increased visitor satisfaction and loyalty. Not offering access means lost business and the ire of travelers.
