MEDIA ADVISORY: Los Angeles and LA/Ontario International Airports Announce Wi-Fi Service Available With Enhanced Security Features for Travelers
Market Wire, March, 2007
WHAT: Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) and T-Mobile will jointly
"cut the wire" by announcing the launch of T-Mobile HotSpot
service throughout Los Angeles International (LAX) and LA/Ontario
International (ONT) airports. In conjunction with the
announcement, T-Mobile and LAWA staff will hold an onsite
demonstration of the service at LAX using the latest consumer
Wi-Fi devices.
T-Mobile will provide "curb to nose" Wi-Fi wireless broadband
access in all terminals and public areas of LAX and ONT airports
including the ticket counters, restaurants, boarding gates and
baggage claim. Spanning more than 3.8 million square feet
including the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT), the
T-Mobile Hotspot deployment at LAX is one of the largest Wi-Fi
hotspots in the country.
From the outside curb to the nose of the aircraft, travelers
will now have the convenience to check e-mail, surf the Web and
make the best use of their downtime between flights -- while
keeping their information secure. T-Mobile Hotspot is the only
U.S. carrier network using Wireless Protected Access (WPA) with
802.1X security technology, providing one of the highest degrees
of Wi-Fi security commercially available.
