Wi-Fi roaming operator, Boingo Wireless says that it has secured an agreement to provide Wi-Fi services for Apple iPad owners. The company will also be reselling the Wi-Fi access service via Apple's iTunes online retail service.
"The iPad may be a new product, but it's one with a familiar need: super-fast Internet in places where you're likely to connect - coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, airports," said Dave Hagan, president and CEO for Boingo Wireless. "Right out of the gate, iPad users will have the ability to access Boingo Wi-Fi as a convenient and affordable alternative or add-on to 3G Internet access, especially for the first wave of users for whom Wi-Fi is the only connection choice."
The "Boingo Wi-Fi Credits" software application is immediately available for download from Apple's U.S. App Store. Consumers can purchase the US$1.99 Wi-Fi credits in advance or at the time of connect simply by confirming the purchase using their iTunes account login. The credits can be redeemed for 60 consecutive minutes of Wi-Fi access at a single Boingo hotspot, and can be used at any of the more than 125,000 Boingo hotspots worldwide.
For consumers who connect to Wi-Fi hotspots frequently, Boingo's subscription service, "Boingo Mobile" provides unlimited global access to Boingo hotspots for US$7.95 per month.
