Q
TELL US ABOUT BOINGO AND THE WORK YOU DO ?
» Wireless networks have changed from a single source needed by an enterprise to multiple types of connectivity required to run the entire business .
We start by asking , ‘ What outcomes do you need to accomplish ?’ From there , we develop a network that specifically serves that company ’ s unique needs and drives business outcomes . In short , we design , build and manage converged networks that can include all technologies or solutions – such as 5G , DAS ( distributed antenna systems ), Wi-Fi or CBRS to meet growing connectivity needs . It sounds complex because it is . Enterprises work with Boingo to bring all technologies together – an increasingly challenging goal .
