Boingo Wireless Inc (WIFI) Acquires Advanced Wireless Group

Airport Wi-Fi Consolidation Combines Two Largest Operators,      Creates Global Leader
September 19, 2013 09:02 AM Eastern Daylight Time
LOS ANGELES--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ:WIFI), the leading DAS and Wi-Fi provider that      serves consumers, carriers and advertisers worldwide, today announced      that the company has entered into an agreement to acquire Advanced      Wireless Group (AWG), the second largest airport Wi-Fi provider in the      United States. The acquisition is subject to customary closing      conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013. Terms      of the deal were not disclosed. Boingo’s acquisition of AWG creates an unmatched global leader in      airport wireless services, providing public Wi-Fi and cellular DAS      network expertise, as well as offering a comprehensive portfolio of      network enhancements that include location based services, venue      analytics, and advanced roaming access via Hotspot 2.0 deployments. With      expanded reach and resources, Boingo can accelerate new products to      market that enhance the value of the wireless networks with actionable      business data and improve the experience of passengers. AWG operates public Wi-Fi in 17 U.S. airports including top 20      facilities Los Angeles International (LAX), Charlotte/Douglas      International (CLT), Miami International (MIA), Minneapolis-St. Paul      International (MSP), Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), and Boston’s      Logan International (BOS). The combined entity will operate the public      Wi-Fi services in nearly 60% of North America’s top 50 airports and more      than 40% of the world’s top 50 airports, representing more than 1.4      billion passengers per year across all airports. “Wireless infrastructure at the airport has become more than an Internet      connection for travelers; it is a primary touch-point between the      airport and its passengers,” said David Hagan, CEO of Boingo Wireless. “Adding AWG’s airport portfolio to our own will help us to reach scale      more quickly with a wide array of services that leverage the wireless      infrastructure to help airports better serve those passengers.”
“As the operational benefits of wireless-based services become more      recognized, the combined resources of the two leaders in airport Wi-Fi      can bring them to market faster than either one of us alone,” said Scott      Phillips, president and CEO of Advanced Wireless Group. “Airport      administrators want tools that give them actionable information – we can      provide that better together.”
“This is a great opportunity to combine both personnel and best      practices from two leading companies and put resources in closer      proximity to all of our partner airports,” said Nick Hulse, president of      Boingo Wireless. “The expanded regional coverage will enable our      management teams to boost responsiveness to airport executives and      readily address their needs.”
AWG currently operates the public Wi-Fi services in the following      airports: Baltimore (BWI), Boston (BOS), Buffalo (BUF), Burbank (BUR),      Charlotte (CLT), Detroit (DTW), Indianapolis (IND), John Wayne (SNA),      Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), Minneapolis – St. Paul (MSP), Oakland      (OAK), Omaha (OMA), Providence (PVD), Sacramento (SMF), and San Diego      (SAN). The company has also been chosen to operate the public Wi-Fi      services in Phoenix’s Sky Harbor (PHX) airport. Representatives from both companies will be attending the ACI-NA Annual      Conference and Exhibition in San Jose, Calif., to be held Sept. 23-25. About Boingo Wireless
