Myers is a WiFi industry pioneer and serial entrepreneur. He is responsible for creating four successful WiFi technology companies. In 2001, he created Airpath Wireless, the first cloud-based roaming, captive portal and payment system in the WiFi Industry. While at Airpath, he was behind the first passenger WiFi installation at Toledo Express in Toledo, Ohio. Now after twenty years, Myers is clearly dedicated to the WiFi industry and understands that WiFi has allowed people to stay connected wherever they go.

“From sharing information with loved ones to banking, shopping, and accessing news and critical data, the advancement of WiFi truly has improved the quality of everyday life. We are thrilled to celebrate our twenty-year anniversary of the first passenger installation of WiFi in an airport, and to help promote World WiFi Day and the WBA’s HOPE for Connectivity initiative.

What is World WiFi Day?

World WiFi Day is a global event orchestrated by the Wireless Broadband Alliance that shines a light on the many communities and cities worldwide that remain without WiFi access. WiFi is a vital service that keeps economies moving, and by working to address the digital divide, the WBA hopes to bring governments and companies together to close the gap.

What is HOPE for Connectivity? Airport WiFi

The HOPE for Connectivity calls for action from local government and industry leaders to recognize and celebrate WiFi’s role in advancing our society while helping to accelerate the availability of affordable connectivity for those who remain unconnected. There are four key themes rooted in the WBA’s vision for World WiFi Day:

Help: funding WiFi deployments to connect the unconnected communities
Offer: affordable WiFi access in both rural and urban areas
