DALLAS \u2013 <\/strong>The launch of Boingo Broadband Internet \u2012 in partnership with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and its Exchange Connect Internet service \u2012 at the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) has hit a new milestone as the installation marked the fastest subscriber sign up rate at any new Boingo military installation to date. This comes just as the popular Boingo Wi-Fi service expands its service footprint at Army and Air Force installations across the continental U.S.<\/p>\n

Within the first 24 hours of the Boingo service going live at USAF, utilization peaked at one gigabit per second \u2012 the equivalent of 20,000 simultaneous Skype calls \u2012 with more than five terabytes of data downloaded, the equivalent of 1,350 DVD-quality movies.<\/p>\n

By year-end, Boingo Broadband service will be available at 35 Army and Air Force installations in the continental U.S. Boingo also provides Wi-Fi service to Marine bases throughout the United States and in Okinawa.<\/p>\n

Boingo Broadband is a customized Wi-Fi service designed exclusively for barracks and dormitories. The service offers instant wireless access to high-speed internet and internet-based TV service (IPTV).\u00a0 There are no contracts or installation appointments, and subscriptions are portable between served locations making it easy for service members to maintain connectivity during TDY or PCS moves.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoingo has installed Wi-Fi equipment at nearly 1,300 buildings with almost 1,500 miles of cable and fiber at a cost of millions of dollars since this program began\u2014all to bring state-of-the-art wireless connectivity and IPTV to service members on Army and Air Force bases,\u201d said Mark Verdeyen, director of the Exchange\u2019s Advanced Telecommunications Division.\u00a0 \u201cAnd the response from the troops has been outstanding as we continue to expand the program to more locations.\u201d<\/p>\n
