Army Expands Boldyn BaseNet Wi-Fi to All Barracks at Two Bases

IRVINE – November 10, 2026 -- The U.S. Army is extending Boldyn Networks' BaseNet managed Wi-Fi service to all permanent party barracks at Fort Riley, Kansas, and Fort Wainwright, Alaska, after pilots at the two installations logged more than 700 terabytes of data.

Intergovernmental agreement with University of Alaska Fairbanks underpins the rollout

The expansion runs through an Intergovernmental Support Agreement (IGSA) with the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. BaseNet is a fully managed residential Wi-Fi service. The pilots launched at Fort Riley in January 2026 and at Fort Wainwright in May 2026.

Each Soldier gets up to 10 devices and 1 Gbps at no cost

Under the expanded service, every Soldier receives an individual account supporting up to 10 personal devices, with speeds of up to 1 Gbps across those devices. Soldiers pay nothing. U.S.-based support is available 24/7/365.
