"The plan marks a major expansion of a 25-year partnership with Boingo, which has managed the Port Authority's wireless infrastructure since 1999. The new deal runs through 2038, with an option to extend to 2043, and includes the rollout of neutral-host 5G networks that support all major carriers-AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon-so you won't be punished for choosing the wrong phone plan."
"Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton promised "best-in-class free and fast Wi-Fi, impeccable cellular phone service and superb connectivity on all fronts." The upgrades will extend beyond passenger perks, improving communication for ground crews, transit employees and other operational systems. In practice, that means smoother check-ins, faster mobile payments, more reliable transit alerts-and maybe even a shot at uploading your Hudson River tunnel selfie before emerging back into daylight."
Free high-speed Wi-Fi and expanded 5G coverage will be rolled out across Port Authority facilities, including airports, PATH stations, the Midtown Bus Terminal, and the Holland and Lincoln tunnels. The expansion continues a long-standing partnership with Boingo Wireless, extending management through 2038 with an option to 2043. Neutral-host 5G networks will support AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon so all carriers function seamlessly. Upgrades aim to improve passenger experiences through smoother check-ins, faster mobile payments, and more reliable transit alerts. The enhancements will also strengthen communications for ground crews, transit employees, and operational systems to support daily operations.
