Pittsburgh upgrades, expands free Wi-Fi

Pittsburgh International Airport has expanded and upgraded the free wireless Internet offered there, airport officials tell The Associated Press. Free Wi-Fi was first offered in 2003 in the airport’s food-court area. It was since been expand to the airside terminal and will now be added to Pittsburgh’s landside terminal as well. Airport officials say the bandwidth has also been upgraded to increase the speed and reliability of the connection.

“Pittsburgh International Airport was the first large airport to provide free Wi-Fi for passengers and employees in the country in September 2003 and is still among one of the few which does not charge for this service,” Allegheny County Airport Authority Board Chairman Glenn Mahone says in a press release.  “This improved wireless communications is a huge asset for people using the airport. We do this as a customer service benefit to our passengers and tenants.”
