Boingo Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ: WIFI), the Wi-Fi industry’s leading
provider of software and services worldwide, today announced an
agreement with Cafaro to manage and operate retail Wi-Fi networks in the
developer’s three busiest shopping centers. With this agreement, Boingo
now manages Wi-Fi networks in 33 malls across the country.
Cafaro’s shopping center guests will be able to access Boingo Wi-Fi on
any Wi-Fi-enabled device – including their smartphones, tablets and
laptops – while shopping, eating or relaxing. Boingo’s roaming partners,
such as Skype and Verizon, will also be able to access the networks
easily.
“Everyone in the mall today seems to have a device in-hand, whether
they’re actively shopping, doing business with tenants or just watching
the world walk by,” said Anthony Cafaro, Jr., Co-President of the Cafaro
Company. “Boingo’s valuable experience in managing Wi-Fi in large venues
will help us deliver more value to the shopping experience at our
properties.”
“Consumers increasingly expect that Wi-Fi will be available when they
pull out their smartphone in public places like shopping malls and
restaurants,” said Joe DeStasio, business development manager for Boingo
Wireless. “With capped data plans on their cellphones, they continue to
look for ways to maintain their digital lifestyle without incurring
exorbitant data overage fees.”
Boingo will install Wi-Fi networks in the Spotsylvania Towne Centre
(Fredericksburg, Va.), the Eastwood Mall (Niles, Ohio) and the South
Hill Mall (Puyallup, Wash.).
With the addition of these three shopping centers with 25 million annual
guests, Boingo now manages or operates the Wi-Fi offering at 33 malls
operated by Cafaro, Caruso, Glimcher, Urban Retail and Westfield LLC,
with combined annual foot traffic of 290 million people. Boingo also has
secured future rights to an additional 10 centers with another 65
million annual visitors.
