AT&T and Boingo Wireless are working to deploy AT&T 5G+, 5G network that uses mmWave technology, in 12 airports nationwide, announced AT&T recently.
AT&T joins forces with Boingo, the largest operator of airport Wi-Fi and DAS networks in the United States, to transform the travel experience by bringing the power, speed and efficiencies of AT&T 5G+ to heavily trafficked airports nationwide. AT&T 5G+ is set to light up seven major U.S. airports in 2021, and reach 25 by the end of 2022. The companies are working to further enhance airport traveler connectivity and help increase essential airport efficiencies.
Also, AT&T deployed its first 5G+ airport in January and committed to work toward a total of seven airports by the end of this year.
AT&T customers can take advantage of the super-fast speeds, reliability, and security of 5G+ whether traveling for work, streaming an education class online or downloading the entire season of FRIENDS to watch on their tablet. The ongoing airport initiative will provide 5G+ coverage at major gate and concession spaces, where travelers and airport employees have the greatest need.
