Boingo Wireless has announced a partnership with GOWEX, a wireless provider that will give customers access to 1,400 additional hotspots in Europe, according to BreakingTravelNews.com.
The additional hotspots are located in more than 50 cities throughout Spain, France, Ireland and Belgium, and include the "Wi-Fi Cities" municipal hotzones in Paris, Marseille, Dublin, and major cities in Spain, including Barcelona, Seville, Malaga and Bilbao. Boingo users will be able to access these hotspots on popular public transportation routes as well. They are available on more than 40 buses in Barcelona and in more than 50 metro and rail stations throughout Paris.
"Our expanding roster of international roaming partners, like GOWEX, keep our customers connected on every step of their journey in some of Europe's greatest cities, from the airport to their hotel, to the metro station or tour bus," Bjorn Thorngren, the vice president of international markets for Boingo Wireless said. "Our expanded relationship with GOWEX will ensure that our users won't miss an email or an update whether they're in Barcelona or changing Paris Metro trains at the Station de Bastille."
Boingo has wireless plans that are useful for both business and leisure travelers, especially for international travelers that may have high fees if they use their normal cell phone carrier to access the Internet. There is access at more than 200,000 hotspots across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as well as daily and hourly plans at 20 European Airports so passengers can have Internet access while waiting for their flight to depart.
"Boingo customers have accessed our 'Wi-Fi Cities' hotzones in Madrid for years, and we're pleased to extend our expanded municipal hotzones and 'smart transport' networks in destination cities across Europe to even more Boingo customers," Jenaro Garcia, the CEO of GOWEX said.
Boingo also has partnerships with companies like Skype and Verizon, as well as NTT DOCOMO, making it possible for users to access the Internet through more devices in more countries, allowing for easier communication when traveling.
