SANTA MONICA, Calif. and COLLEGE STATION, Texas, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Boingo Wireless(TM) and NetNearU Corp. today announced that NetNearU now delivers a turnkey "industrial strength" wireless solution for Boingo hotspots and is now a Boingo Network Provider.

"We're excited to offer our network to the globetrotting Boingo user base and bring them new places to use Wi-Fi all over the New York area that are off the travel ribbon and closer to their customers," said Craig Plunkett, CEO of CEDX Corporation, a high speed wireless access provider in the New York City area. "The additional traffic brought to us by Boingo and the ease of building a network with NetNearU allows us to rapidly deliver the latest competitive tool to the people of New York City and the surrounding area. We believe that the growth of Wi-Fi services here will be an important factor in the region's recovery."
