Boingo Mobile, which the company offers for a monthly flat rate of $7.95, allows users to get high-speed Internet connection in airports, hotels, restaurants and convention centers across the globe. The service can run with Windows Mobile 5.0-based Smartphones or Pocket PC devices.

Boingo Mobile subscribers can use Internet-enabled applications on their phones, such as making VoIP calls, sending SMS messages, receiving push email, viewing online news or video, uploading and downloading photos or videos, surfing the Internet, and accessing Intranet services. The company said the service is available for Belkin’s Wi-Fi Phone for Skype and expects its coverage to expand to other Wi-Fi enabled devices like mobile/cellular handsets, VoIP phones, mobile gaming consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras, in the future.

Earthlink, which won contracts to build WiFi networks in cities such as New Orleans, San Francisco, and Anaheim, California, pays for its clients’ use of Boingo software. The company, where Dayton remains a major shareholder after Earthlink’s marriage with MindSpring Enterprises in 2000, is one of Helio’s co-owners (the other being South Korean communications giant SK Telecom). The telephone operation business is targeting the under-30 group owning Internet-capable phones. Earthlink believes Helio will gain 3 million users by 2009.

The purchase should not cause any job losses and should hopefully expand Boingo’s ability to support WiFi handsets.

The idea is that UMA phones are being designed to use WiFi when a customer is at home or thier business, but now the phones will be able to use the higher bandwidth, and presumably cheaper WiFi connection at Boingo public hotspots as well.

They promise one source for access to a number of IEEE 802.11b wireless systems. To fulfill this, they offer a free client from their website which supposedly sports a NetStumbler-like mechanism to find access points, a database of known access points and some VPN software that provides the security which WEP lacks.
