Boingo Wireless, the leading distributed antenna system (DAS) and Wi-Fi provider, on Monday announced it has been selected by Rockefeller Center to design, install and manage a Wi-Fi 6 network with fast, secure wireless connectivity.
New York City’s landmark property spanning 22 acres in the heart of Manhattan will be outfitted with the most advanced Wi-Fi 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.
Wi-Fi 6 is the next generation of the Wi-Fi standard and adds increased efficiency, flexibility and scalability to allow new and existing networks increased speed and capacity for innovative applications.
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 world-class shops, restaurants, entertainment venues and office space. For this immense and diverse property, Boingo will launch Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for the indoor and outdoor public spaces.
Boingo CEO Mike Finley
Our Wi-Fi 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.
