Boingo to Provide Fast, Seamless, Secure
Wireless Connectivity Throughout Iconic NYC Location
Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ: WIFI), the leading distributed antenna
system (DAS) and Wi-Fi provider, announced it has been selected by
Rockefeller Center to design, install and manage a Wi-Fi 6 network
with fast, secure wireless connectivity. New York City’s landmark
property spanning 22 acres in the heart of Manhattan will be
outfitted with the most advanced Wi-Fi technology to seamlessly
deliver connectivity to the venue’s daily visitors, enable enhanced
business operations, and set the stage for a high-bandwidth
experience for property tenant employees.
Wi-Fi 6 is the next generation of the Wi-Fi standard and adds
increased efficiency, flexibility and scalability to allow new and
existing networks increased speed and capacity for innovative
applications.
Encompassing three city blocks between Fifth Avenue and the
Avenue of the Americas, from 48th to 51st Streets, Rockefeller
Center consists of more than seven million square feet spread
across 12 buildings featuring world-class shops, restaurants,
entertainment venues and office space. For this immense and diverse
property, Boingo will launch Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for the indoor
and outdoor public spaces.
“Rockefeller Center is New York at its best—architecture,
dining, history, culture, business and the arts all colliding
within the heart of the city,” said Boingo CEO Mike Finley. “Boingo
is a Wi-Fi 6 pioneer, and we’re honored to help power a new
generation of connectivity at Rockefeller Center. Our Wi-Fi 6
networks provide the foundation for a host of current and emerging
uses from supporting thousands of connected devices to delivering
mission-critical business applications, to streaming
ultra-high-definition movies or providing touchless health and
safety monitoring protocols.”
As a Wi-Fi leader known for developing networks in demanding
environments, Boingo was chosen for its Wi-Fi 6 solution that can
power advanced 5G services with high speeds, low latency, power
efficiency and enhanced security. Paired with Passpoint hotspot and
offload technology, Rockefeller Center guests, consumers and
employees will benefit from a seamless and secure Wi-Fi 6
experience.
Rockefeller Center joins a deep roster of wireless agreements
Boingo holds in New York City, including the Port Authority of New
York & New Jersey to deliver connectivity solutions at the
World Trade Center Transportation Hub; John F. Kennedy (JFK),
LaGuardia (LGA), and Newark (EWR) airports.
