Provided by Business Wire Jul 22, 2026, 11:00:00 AM * North America's busiest transit hub debuts advanced wireless infrastructure powered by Boingo * New wireless network will include enhanced cellular service alongside Wi-Fi, delivering fast, secure and reliable connectivity throughout Penn Station's main concourse * Penn Station joins major MTA transit hubs - Grand Central Madison, Jamaica Station and Atlantic Terminal - that rely on Boingo's secure, converged network solutions Boingo Wireless, a leading provider of 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity solutions, has deployed a neutral host distributed antenna system (DAS) and Wi-Fi network at Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) Pennsylvania Station (Penn Station), the busiest transit hub in North America. Alongside high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity, the next generation DAS network is designed to deliver enhanced 5G cellular service from Tier One carriers throughout the MTA Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) concourse, providing reliable connectivity for mobile ticketing, the MTA TrainTime app, streaming services, emails, phone calls, text messaging and E911 compliance. High-speed 5G cellular and Wi-Fi service powered by Boingo Wireless supports Penn Station's modernization, providing reliable connectivity for passengers and essential station operations. Penn Station services an estimated 600,000 commuter rail, regional rail and subway passengers on an average weekday. Boingo's wireless connectivity is live in the station's main concourse, with enhancements ongoing. The network upgrade launched as part of the transit hub's major reconstruction and renovation project. The modernization of Penn Station is a commuter-first plan to transform the historic station into a first-class transit hub that better serves passengers with reliable connectivity, real time passenger information systems, additional space, new retail and amenities, and improved accessibility options. Boingo designed, constructed, and manages the converged wireless network, enabling seamless passenger mobile connectivity and connected operations - including security cameras, digital signage, public safety communication and more. "Boingo is proud to support the MTA's goal of seamless connectivity for riders coming in and out of Penn Station. At high-traffic venues like Penn Station, reliable connectivity isn't a luxury - it's essential. Nearly every rider carries a mobile device, and they depend on it for navigation, communication, ticketing and safety. If the network fails, the experience breaks down. That's why fast, secure, and always-on connectivity is critical and why leading transportation authorities choose Boingo to deliver complex, carrier-grade coverage to keep passengers connected and operations running smoothly," said Boingo CEO Mike Finley. Boingo's multi-carrier cellular and Wi-Fi networks keep millions of people connected across New York and New Jersey's busiest transit hubs, airports, stadiums and commercial properties.

Boingo Wireless advances private 5G deployments with XCOM RAN by Globalstar. COVINGTON, La.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Globalstar (NASDAQ: GSAT), a next-generation telecommunications infrastructure and technology provider, today announced that Boingo Wireless - a leading provider of 5G, Wi-Fi and private network connectivity solutions - will integrate XCOM RAN by Globalstar into its private network infrastructure. Boingo's private networks deliver secure, high-bandwidth connectivity for critical operations at airports, transit hubs, stadiums, hospitals, convention centers, military bases and more. With XCOM RAN's advanced software-defined private 5G platform, Boingo unlocks new capabilities across indoor and outdoor network deployments. Following a technical evaluation, Boingo has validated the performance of XCOM RAN private networks. A trial demonstrated reliability and spectrum flexibility, confirming that XCOM RAN can deliver carrier-grade private connectivity across multiple frequency bands and deployment models. One specific use case is overlaying XCOM RAN private networks over existing distributed antenna system (DAS) infrastructure. This has the potential of maintaining the DAS advantage of coverage and homogeneous performance, but with significant network capacity upgrades. "As connected devices surge across transportation hubs, stadiums, hospitals and military bases, the need for secure, IoT-driven private networks has never been greater. Boingo's leadership is built on experience - supporting more than 130 major airports and transportation hubs, 70+ stadiums and arenas, and 100 military bases - giving us unmatched insight into what these RF-challenged environments require to stay connected and resilient. As we enhance our converged network portfolio across cellular and Wi-Fi, we're adopting private network solutions like XCOM RAN's Supercell architecture to deliver greater efficiency, speed, security and ultra-low latency to ensure an exceptional experience for the people who depend on our networks every day," said Dr. Derek Peterson, Boingo Wireless Chief Technology Officer and board member of the OnGo Alliance, which helps shape the future of private networks and spectrum technologies.
