FRISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Boingo Wireless, the largest operator of airport distributed antenna systems (DAS), Wi-Fi and private networks in the U.S., has been recognized for delivering industry-leading wireless networks at airports nationwide, as highlighted in an analysis by Ookla®, a global leader in connectivity intelligence. According to Speedtest Intelligence® data, Ookla has validated Boingo’s strong wireless performance at many of the busiest airports in the world.

Airports that partner with Boingo are among the top performing wireless networks in the U.S. and globally. This includes Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), which recently stood out as having one of the highest-performing wireless networks at a U.S. airport as measured by Ookla’s Speedtest Intelligence data, highlighting the benefits of partnering with Boingo Wireless. This notable achievement demonstrates Boingo’s commitment to helping major airports provide exceptional connectivity through converged 5G, DAS, Wi-Fi 6/6E/7, and Passpoint technologies—enhancing travel efficiency, streamlining airport operations and ensuring reliable public safety communications.

“Boingo’s neutral host networks are setting a new standard for airport connectivity,” said Stephen Bye, President and CEO of Ookla, a division of Ziff Davis. “Whether for travelers or airport staff, Boingo’s cutting-edge networks help ensure seamless, high-performance wireless connectivity.”

Boingo and PHX speed to the top

Boingo’s Wi-Fi 6 network at PHX is among the fastest and most reliable at an airport in the U.S., according to Ookla’s recent analysis. Boingo recently upgraded the Wi-Fi experience to accommodate PHX’s increased passenger demand, as it now services more than 50 million annual passengers, with increased traffic around marquee sporting and entertainment events.
