Travellers visiting the USA, Canada and South America now have an extra 6,600 wi-fi hotspots to choose from - thanks to a boost in BT Openzone’s reach.
The three networks of iBAHN, Wayport and Latin American operator Vex have helped increase BT Openzone’s international footprint to more than 45,000 worldwide sites. Wi-fi access is now available through iBAHN at almost 1,500 hotspots at Hyatt, Ritz-Carlton and Marriott hotels in the Americas and Canada. BT Openzone customers can also connect at an additional 230 locations in the UK. Wayport provides access at around 500 USA hotels including the Four Seasons, Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton, Radisson and Renaissance five star groups. In South America, Vex adds 4,600 hotspots spanning Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colômbia and Venezuela. The number also includes hotspots in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxemburg and South Africa. BT Openzone general manager Chris Bruce said: “We’re bringing wireless broadband to more people travelling the globe and have added 10,000 hotspots in the last year. “BT customers can get online without wires from an even wider range of quality locations.”
