Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport (AZO) in Michigan recently unveiled an enhanced WiFi  , deployed in collaboration with Concourse Communications Group (a subsidiary of Boingo Wireless).
Travelers at AZO can now access the Internet using either an existing WiFi ( News - Alert) account from their home provider, or by purchasing access from Boingo.
“This is a significant upgrade for our airport,” said Karen Wolff, AZO marketing coordinator, in a statement. “The Concourse network provides us with an enhanced system to better serve our customers' needs, and increased product selection to provide them with more options.”
Passengers and people meeting passengers can use WiFi-enabled laptops or PDAs can surf the Web and check e-mail while waiting, thanks to the new network. Neutral WiFi service available throughout the entire airport is provided thanks to deals with AT&T, GoRemote, iPass, T-Mobile ( News - Alert) and Orange France.
Boingo Wireless offers Internet access services at the airport for $7.95 per day. Frequent travelers can opt for a $21.95 per month plan that offers unlimited access to hot spots in North and South America.
The Boingo Roaming System now includes 100,000 hot-spots in airports, hotels, cafes and other public places around the world. Users can access these hot-spots by logging in with a username and password.
