Boingo Wireless Inc, the Wi-Fi industry’s leading provider of software and services worldwide, has announced a roaming agreement with Wire and Wireless (Wi2) that allows Boingo customers access to more than 3,000 hotspots operated by the Wi2 300 service throughout Japan.

The new roaming agreement enables Wi-Fi Internet access on key transit routes, including more than 800 limousines and buses en route to and from Narita/Haneda airports and major business and entertainment districts such as Marunouchi, the Yokohama Bay area and the Tokyo Institute of Technology campus. The Wi2 network also includes Wi-Fi Internet access at landmark business and entertainment destinations and quick service restaurants.

“Wi2 will provide our customers with high-speed Wi-Fi access as they move around key cities in Japan,” said Allen Pan, director of Asia for Boingo Wireless. “As mobile data demands increase, this will be increasingly important to ensure the best online experience and to prevent exorbitant data roaming bills for international travelers.”

“Boingo shares our vision of easy-to-use, always-on connectivity, and we’re excited to offer their customers access to our expanding Wi2 300 network,” said Hiroshi Kiji, director of Sales Division for Wi2. “As demand increases with the proliferation of smartphones, we’ll continue to expand our network for all of our customers’ benefit.”

Boingo offers a variety of wireless plans for customers living and traveling in Asia, including Boingo Asia Pacific, which provides unlimited Wi-Fi within the region for one low monthly fee. With the addition of the Wi2 300 hotspots to its network, Boingo offers access to more than 150,000 hotspots throughout the Asia Pacific region.
