FreeFi Networks Releases Figures for Wi-Fi Connections at Denver International Airport

DENVER, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- FreeFi Networks (www.freefinet.com), a Los Angeles-based company offering content and advertiser-supported Internet access, today released figures surrounding the number of average daily Wi-Fi connections at Denver International Airport (DIA). Working with their technical partners Front Porch and Meru Networks, as well as the telecommunications staff at DIA, FreeFi has successfully managed a record peak of almost 7,000 connections on (Monday), due to the heavy traffic generated by the Democratic National Convention, held in Denver from August 25th to August 28th.

Before FreeFi Networks became the official Wi-Fi provider for DIA in November 2007, passengers were logging on at a rate of about six hundred connections per day. Since the successful launch of FreeFi Networks' ad-supported Wi-Fi system, DIA has experienced over a six-fold growth in connections, averaging nearly 3,500 connections per day. Offering quick download times, and user-friendly formatting, the daily connection rates through FreeFi Networks continues to grow, reporting an average of 6,326 daily connections during the month of July.

"Denver International passengers are logging on to the system at an incredible rate and the system we have designed with our partners is handling it extremely well. We maintain a 24/7 helpline for users and there has been a minimal increase in the call volume compared to the comparative traffic growth thanks to the pro-active efforts of our collective teams," said Richard Bogen, managing director of FreeFi Networks.

FreeFi Networks currently has plans to expand into additional airports and large public venues around the country. For more information on FreeFi Networks, log on to www.freefinet.com.
