FRISCO, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#WirelessSimplified—Boingo Wireless, a total connectivity provider of cellular distributed antenna systems (DAS), Wi-Fi and private networks, has received a 2023 Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans (HIRE Vets) Medallion Award. Presented by the U.S. Department of Labor, the HIRE Vets Medallion Award is the only federal-level veterans employment award that recognizes a company’s commitment to veteran hiring, retention, and professional development.
