Users of Boingo Roaming System Will Have High Speed Internet Access at Nearly 200 Hotels in the ARESCOM Hospitality Network (AHN)

ARESCOM INC. and Boingo Wireless, Inc., have reached an agreement to integrate the Wi-Fi High Speed Internet access in guestrooms and public spaces at nearly 200 hotels in the ARESCOM Hospitality Network (AHN) into the rapidly growing Boingo(TM) Roaming System. Headquartered in Santa Monica, Boingo is the largest Wi-Fi network aggregator and is building a network to meet the needs of business travelers.

Fremont-based ARESCOM is one of hospitality's largest and fastest-growing providers of wireless High Speed Internet Access (HSIA) in guestrooms (25,000+ installed and another 20,000 rooms in the pipeline). Also included in ARESCOM's solutions line-up is Cinemagic(TM) Video on Demand (VoD), another revenue-share service that gives guests access to hundreds of DVD-quality classic and new film releases -- with pause, rewind and fast-forward capabilities -- via guestroom TVs and laptops.

    "Wi-Fi access in guestrooms and public spaces is quickly evolving from an
appreciated upscale amenity for business travelers to a must-have standard
feature for hotels of all sizes and types today," said Colby Goff, Boingo vice
president of network strategy.  "Our partnership with the ARESCOM Hospitality
Network enables both of our companies to stay ahead of hospitality's demand
curve while significantly expanding our Wi-Fi footprint."
    The agreement extends access to AHN networks to Boingo's Platform Services
partners, those Internet, voice and data service providers who wholesale the
Boingo Roaming System for their Wi-Fi services.  The Boingo Platform Services
program offers private-label Wi-Fi software and roaming services to major
carriers and ISPs.  Boingo's current partners include EarthLink, Fiberlink,
Infonet Services Corp., MCI and T-Mobile for client software.
    Dave Egan, ARESCOM Vice President of Marketing, said the partnership is a
rare win-win -- benefiting the two partners, hundreds of hotels and their
guests, subscribers to the Boingo Roaming System and strategic telecom
partners.
    "ARESCOM and Boingo each focus on broadband services for business
travelers, including secure wireless High Speed Internet Access," Egan said.
"Once integration of the ARESCOM Hospitality Network into the Boingo Wi-Fi
roaming service is complete, our hotel partners will have captured yet another
business- and brand-building service to offer their guests, and Boingo
customers will have more choices than ever before regarding where they can
access Wi-Fi service.
    "This agreement with Boingo represents one of several completed and
planned roaming partnerships that will provide corporations, business and
leisure travelers with our secure, plug-and-play wireless High Speed Internet
access," Egan said.
