WiFi users, prepare for a significantly improved experience with Passpoint technology from Boingo Wireless. Now available at more than 20 major airports across the United States, Passpoint delivers instant, simple, and secure wireless access without the typical login hassles.
With traditional WiFi hotspots, users typically must search for a network, connect, open a browser, and sign in via a redirect page. Passpoint removes those steps: once a device is configured for a Passpoint-enabled network, it connects automatically as soon as you enter the venue. Secure Passpoint deployments are rolling out worldwide and are positioned to become a new standard for easy, secure public WiFi access.
Getting started is straightforward: install a Boingo Passpoint profile on your device. After registration, compatible devices automatically detect and join Passpoint-secured networks without presenting pop-ups, captive portals, or username/password prompts. There is no need to open a special app or repeatedly re-enter credentials on phones, tablets, or laptops.
Security is a core benefit. Passpoint uses enterprise-grade authentication and encryption, providing a protected connection that reduces or eliminates the need for third-party VPNs and browser-based logins. This built-in security simplifies the user experience while maintaining a high level of data protection appropriate for public and enterprise environments.
Device compatibility is broad. Passpoint is supported by many of today’s most popular mobile devices, including recent iPhone and iPad models, Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets, and a wide range of laptops such as Apple MacBooks running modern versions of macOS. As manufacturers and carriers continue to adopt the standard, compatibility will expand further.
Boingo subscribers with monthly unlimited WiFi plans can download the Passpoint profile and use Boingo Passpoint networks at no additional cost. Major WiFi providers plan to deploy more Passpoint networks, enabling cross-carrier roaming. As those networks come online, a single account with a provider like Boingo will grant seamless access to hundreds of thousands of hotspots, simplifying connectivity for frequent travelers and daily commuters. Boingo’s Passpoint-enabled locations include more than 20 airports that together serve hundreds of millions of passengers each year.
