LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Boingo Wireless, Inc., the Wi-Fi industry’s leading provider of software and services worldwide, today announced two milestone events: the ringing of the NASDAQ opening bell as a newly public company, and the launch of the company’s 10th anniversary celebration.



Boingo turns 10 by kicking off a virtual anniversary party a decade in the making.



To say “thanks” to customers and fans for their support over the last 10 years, Boingo is awarding customers and fans with gifts throughout the remainder of 2011. Visitors to the anniversary microsite, http://www.boingo.com/10 can earn anywhere from 10 minutes to 10 days of free Wi-Fi. Plus, every week participants may enter for a chance to win the latest must-have gadgets and gear, including the iPad 2, Barnes & Noble NOOK Color e-readers, smartphones, hotel stays, complimentary Boingo Wi-Fi accounts, gift cards, and more.



“At Boingo, we’ve always liked a good party, and we value our close connection to our customers,” said Dawn Callahan, vice president of consumer marketing for Boingo. “Our anniversary is the perfect opportunity to give back and celebrate with current and future customers throughout 2011. Boingo fans should check in on our anniversary microsite often for new anniversary gifts and surprises.”



Boingo president and CEO Dave Hagan and the company’s executive team will herald the launch of the 10th anniversary party by ringing the opening bell at the NASDAQ today. Boingo began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “WIFI” on May 4, 2011. The bell ringing can be viewed via live webcast at http://www.nasdaq.com/about/marketsitetowervideo.asx or http://social.nasdaqomx.com at 9:15 am EDT.



Since the company’s founding in 2001, Boingo has become a global leader in Wi-Fi services, making it easy, convenient and cost-effective for people to connect to the mobile Internet at more than 325,000 hotspots in more than 100 countries. Boingo has received numerous accolades for its superior customer service, including being named a finalist for Best Social Media Customer Service from Mashable, and has been named a top Wi-Fi and travel service by Global Traveler magazine, among many other honors.



Boingo’s longest standing customer, Thomas Hunt, President and CEO of INSTALLS, Inc. has been a loyal patron since the company’s beginning and will attend the anniversary kick-off and NASDAQ bell ringing as Boingo’s guest of honor.



“As the co-founder of a business that manages electronics installation programs for national chains, I’m always on the go,” said Hunt. “Boingo has provided me with reliable access to Wi-Fi networks wherever I've traveled — domestically or abroad. I was surprised to find out that I am their oldest customer, but I’m excited to help them ring in their second decade as my Wi-Fi provider of choice.”
