UPDATE DAS and WiFi provider, Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ: WIFI), announced this week it has been selected by Rockefeller Center to design, install and manage a WiFi 6 network with fast, secure wireless connectivity. The company said New York City’s landmark property spanning 22 acres in the heart of Manhattan, will be outfitted with “the most advanced WiFi technology to seamlessly deliver connectivity to the venue’s daily visitors, enable enhanced business operations, and set the stage for a high-bandwidth experience for property tenant employees.”
Encompassing three city blocks between Fifth Avenue and the Avenue of the Americas, from 48th to 51st Streets, Rockefeller Center consists of more than seven million square feet spread across 12 buildings featuring shops, restaurants, entertainment venues and office space. Boingo also provides WiFi for the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, the World Trade Center Transportation Hub; John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, and Newark airports.
“Rockefeller Center is New York at its best—architecture, dining, history, culture, business and the arts all colliding within the heart of the city,” said Boingo CEO Mike Finley. “Boingo is a WiFi 6 pioneer, and we’re honored to help power a new generation of connectivity at Rockefeller Center. Our WiFi 6 networks provide the foundation for a host of current and emerging uses from supporting thousands of connected devices to delivering mission-critical business applications, to streaming ultra-high-definition movies or providing touchless health and safety monitoring protocols.”
Paired with Passpoint hotspot and offload technology, Rockefeller Center guests, consumers and employees will benefit from a seamless and secure WiFi 6 experience.
