Boingo Wireless, a provider of Wi-Fi software and services, announced that it has been chosen as Wi-Fi provider for the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport Willy Brandt.

In a release, the Company noted that Boingo Wi-Fi services will be available timed to the airport's opening on March 17, 2013.

Berlin Brandenburg passengers will be able to access basic complimentary Wi-Fi services or upgrade to premium service for higher bandwidth activities. This tiered service approach allows airports to serve the needs of both casual and power users while enabling ongoing investment in upgrades and expansion to support ever-increasing demand.

"Berlin Brandenburg Airport will offer its guests the most advanced amenities available," said Ralf Kunkel of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg. "Boingo Wireless will provide state-of-the-art Wi-Fi services that can expand to meet additional demand as the airport grows, and connectivity that our travelers can count on."

"As the leading provider of airport Wi-Fi in Europe and around the globe, we have unparalleled experience in ensuring high-quality connections for all passengers," said Bjorn Thorngren, director of EMEA for Boingo Wireless. "Our Wi-Fi services can help international tourists and business travelers avoid excessive data roaming charges, while resident travelers can stay productive or be entertained while en route to their destination."

Wi-Fi access plans available to Berlin Brandenburg travelers will include Boingo Europe Plus, providing unlimited access at more than 200,000 hotspots throughout the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, and Boingo Global, providing flat rate access. Hourly and day passes will also be available for purchase.

The BER network will also be available to Boingo's roaming and platform service partners, including Korea Telecom, LGU+, Orange France, NTT Communications, Skype, Telefonica, TeliaSonera and Verizon, which wholesale Wi-Fi access from Boingo and provide self-branded Wi-Fi to their customers as part of their existing services. The airport network may also be accessible to future regional and international roaming and platform service partners.
