Boingo™ Network Expands Worldwide to Match Spreading Impact of Wi-Fi SANTA MONICA, Calif. - October 14, 2003 - Boingo Wireless™ announced today its roaming system now has more than 5,000 hotspot locations under contract, the result of new network partnerships and the increasing worldwide interest in Wi-Fi networks. The hotspot total extends Boingo™’s worldwide lead in Wi-Fi aggregation. The company now has 47 network partners with the announcement this week of agreements with The Cloud and PicoPoint. The Cloud is a U.K.-based wholesale Wi-Fi network company that has more than 2,500 hotspot locations throughout the country.

The company’s growth has mirrored the rapid expansion of Wi-Fi use worldwide. Boingo currently has under contract approximately 3,000 hotspots in Europe, 1,700 in the U.S., and 400 combined in Asian and Latin American countries. “As the world’s first hotspot aggregator, Boingo is extending its lead in roaming from North America to Europe and the rest of the world,” said Dave Hagan Boingo president. “Our increasingly global carrier and ISP customers demand the best software and the most coverage for their customers, and Boingo Platform Services is the answer.” Also announced this week, were two significant new Platform Services partnerships.
