By providing a full complement of smart clients that take the complexity out of business travel, Boingo puts some joy back into being a road warrior.

Boingo Wireless offers access to the world's largest network of Wi-Fi hotspots - over 100,000 - by partnering with some of the most recognizable Wi-Fi network operators in the world, including AT&T, AWG, Wayport, iBahn, BT Openzone, Korea Telecom, Telmex and T-Mobile.

GoBoingo! - This lightweight applet is an authentication utility for Windows XP and Vista. GoBoingo! automatically identifies whether a hotspot belongs to a Boingo roaming partner and helps users log in with their Boingo account with a single click. About 1 MB, it installs quickly and stays out of the way until you need your Boingo account. A full-featured Windows client is also available that includes a complete network manager, as well as a fully functional 802.1x supplicant.

Boingo Mobile - Currently available for Nokia S60 handsets, Nokia Internet Tablets and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices, Boingo Mobile identifies Boingo hotspots and automatically logs users in. Instead of futzing around with oversized web pages in undersized browser windows, you get online immediately with Boingo Mobile.
