Reagan National and Dulles Announce WiFi Availability
Wireless internet service is now available throughout both Washington
airports

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is pleased to announce
the introduction of wireless internet service throughout the airport
facilities.

Going online is quick and easy. Subscribers to major national wireless
internet providers can easily reach the internet after clicking on
their computer’s internet browser icon.

All others will see a WiFi introduction “splash” page which guides
them through the login process and connection fees. The splash page
also includes links to selected Airports Authority website pages
available for viewing at no charge. Passengers may use this feature to
check their flight status and obtain information about Reagan National
and Washington Dulles Airports.

Cellular telephone and data coverage throughout National and Dulles
has also improved. A new system in the public areas of the airport now
supplements service that previously came from off-airport cellular
towers.
The WiFi network was set up by a consortium of wireless
elecommunications companies which are operating and maintaining the
system and providing customer assistance.

Connection fees will vary according to individual service providers.
Customers with questions about logging on may contact 1-866-849-2850.
Information about WiFi internet service, including connection
instructions, is also available on the Airports Authority website
www.mwaa.com.
