“Our partnership with NTT Docomo is a testament to the strength of our global wi-fi network and its ability to provide an offload solution for one of the largest mobile carriers in the Asia Pacific region,” said Allen Pan, director of Asia Pacific for Boingo Wireless. “As the cost of global data roaming has become an increasing pain point for carriers, our turnkey global wi-fi platform will give them a remedy to ease that pain for customers, as well.”

Through a separate agreement with Docomo, Boingo customers and partners can now access Docomo’s more than 55,000 hotspots throughout Japan, in locations such as airport lounges, hotels, shopping centers, restaurants and cafes, and transit stations.
