USVI Seaplane Terminals to Get Free Wi-Fi

The US Virgin Islands Next Generation Network (viNGN) has launched a new partnership with Seaborne Airlines providing free Wi-Fi service at both terminals to all Seaborne seaplane passengers traveling between St Croix and St Thomas.

Travelers can now experience the fastest broadband speeds in the USVI and Caribbean free of charge for personal use or business from viNGN's hotspot locations. Travelers can access the Internet simply by selecting the "viNGN_Hotspot" network on their computers and mobile devices.

"We believe that the transformational power of viNGN resides in its ability to make daily life easier and more convenient for Virgin Islanders. Our partnership with Seaborne allows us to assist commuter, leisure, and other travelers to stay connected whether it is for business or pleasure… and at superfast speeds. This is the real power of technology, its ability to transform lives, and we have that power right here at home in the US Virgin Islands. We thank Seaborne for this amazing opportunity to help them to transform the travel experience for its travelers. We, with the partnership of Seaborne Airlines, are moving steadily toward the Next Generation of the Virgin Islands," said Dr. Tonjia Coverdale, president and chief executive officer of viNGN.

"Seaborne Airlines and the Virgin Islands Next Generation Network are both privileged to work in one of the most important and honorable undertakings – that of connecting people," said Gary Foss, president and chief executive officer of Seaborne.

"Both are in businesses that have shrunk the globe, brought people together, and broadened the horizons of so many. Seaborne, through being the United States Virgin Islands largest air carrier, and viNGN as the company who brought world class, open access, high speed, 100 percent fiber optic broadband services to the territory. Both company's missions are critical to the local economy, facilitating commerce and creating jobs. It is with pleasure that we enter into this agreement to provide free Wi-Fi at our St Thomas and St Croix seaplane bases to approximately 100,000 Seaplane travelers annually and to work in partnership with a company having such an important role in the United States Virgin Islands," said Foss.
