Do they install their own hotspots/captive portals or do they simply use existing portals ? If they use their own what do they use ?>
if existing ones do they modify them ?

They partner with hotspot providers, either one at a time, or multi-location providers. The Boingo client logs in using special logins and authenticates to their own servers.
You can become a Boingo-only hotspot, or add it to the hotspot you already have.
This is explained in different places on their web site.

That page refers to the Linksys "Boingo in a Box" and is dedicated to Boingo. For an existing WAP that has some authentication scheme already, there is a different process.
The Boingo page mentions Pronto. If a Boingo subscription were usable at Boingo, Wayport, Pronto and T-Mobile sites, that would be a tremendous boon.
Am i right in thinking that the WRV54G hotspot features require a separate RADIUS server for user authentication ?
Are there any hotspot devices out there that do their own authentication ?
I think there is some mumbling about using the Boingo authentication servers. I don't know that it is radius.
David Taylor was testing a self-contained unit a while back.
