The addition of Golden Telecom’s WiFi network marks Boingo’s first expansion into Russia. The metropolitan WiFi network gives Boingo blanket coverage of Moscow through more than 7,500 WiFi access points integrated into a single network.

Boingo gives business travelers the choice of Wi-Fi hotspots by combining tens of thousands of locations from more than 150 leading Wi-Fi operators into one worldwide network. Boingo users can connect to any of these locations with a single Boingo account using Boingo’s free Wi-Fi client software, which combines more than 660 network names into one “Boingo Wireless”® network and stores the user name and password to simplify identifying and connecting to commercial Wi-Fi networks.

The program provides partners with access to this network, customized client software, and a full suite of back-office billing, roaming, mediation and clearinghouse services to allow them to offer their own Wi-Fi service quickly and cost effectively. To date, the company has announced Platform Services partnerships with BT Infonet, EarthLink, Fiberlink, Verizon Business and Skype.
