Boingo Wireless to Manage and Operate Wi-Fi at U.S. Cellular Field

CHICAGO & LOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)--

Boingo (News - Alert) Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:WIFI), the Wi-Fi industry's leading provider of software and services worldwide, announced today that it will manage and operate public Wi-Fi access at U.S. Cellular (News - Alert) Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. The network has been deployed throughout the ballpark and is part of an exclusive agreement for Wi-Fi services at U.S. Cellular Field.

"The elevated expectation of fans to share their ballpark experience through social channels, and augment the game with real-time statistics from MLB.com, video replay and souvenir purchases requires a high-speed network that can easily expand to accommodate the skyrocketing number of Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices," said Brooks Boyer, senior vice president of sales and marketing for the White Sox. "Boingo's Wi-Fi network will give our fans a reliable network for integrating their digital lifestyle with their game experience."

"We are excited to add U.S. Cellular Field as one of our hotspots and to add to the game day experience for White Sox fans," said Colby Goff, senior vice president of strategy and business development for Boingo Wireless. "Anywhere tens of thousands of people are concentrated in a relatively small space, the need for additional bandwidth becomes paramount. Wi-Fi easily fulfills that need."

As an introductory offer, Boingo will provide complimentary Internet access at U.S. Cellular Field in appreciation of White Sox fans. Premium service will also be available for fans who want a higher bandwidth experience. Premium access is available for Boingo Unlimited and Boingo Mobile monthly subscribers. White Sox fans can also use Boingo Wi-Fi Credits to purchase premium access for $1.99 per hour with their iPhone (News - Alert), iPad or other iOS mobile devices. Boingo Wi-Fi Credits can be downloaded from the Apple iTunes store.
