Boingo Wireless announced an expanded collaboration with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to fuel innovation for enterprise customers. AWS edge and cloud services are now integrated within Boingo’s converged network offering and can be implemented with DAS, Wi-Fi and private network deployments. Combining AWS capabilities with Boingo’s managed networks provides airports, stadiums, manufacturing and healthcare facilities, and other large enterprises with one central hub for efficiently operating connected consumer and business applications. Boingo is leveraging AWS for venue customers including Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), where it launched a new private network over Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum. The private cellular solution securely connects IoT devices at ORD and powers essential airport services. Prioritizing touchless experiences, ORD activated a virtual customer service center at its Traveler’s Aid Station that required a dedicated wireless network to facilitate communications between on-site passengers and remote support staff via a live video kiosk. Because Boingo manages the converged DAS and Wi-Fi network at ORD, the company had the flexibility to quickly design and deploy a cloud-based private network for the kiosk in just days, supplying necessary bandwidth and speed for reliable, high quality video calls. The end-to-end network was engineered with AWS to securely host video distribution data. A $8.5 billion expansion and modernization project is underway at ORD to serve the needs of travelers in the 21st century and beyond. Converged wireless networks with advanced cloud and edge computing lay the foundation for existing and future connected airport use cases that span touchless engagement, security operations, asset tracking and more.
