Speed and coverage
PWM WiFi delivers adequate speeds on the PWM Free WiFi network. PWM WiFi provides adequate speeds for browsing and email; streaming and video calls may buffer during peak hours when the most passengers are connected simultaneously. Coverage extends throughout the terminal areas and concourses — you generally do not need to reconnect as you move through the airport.
Charging stations
Charging outlets and USB ports are built into tall standing worktables and select seating areas along the second-floor concourse; the small business center near Gates 7–8 has additional desks with power. Most major US airports — including PWM — provide a mix of USB-A, USB-C, and standard 120 V outlets at gate seating. Bring your own cable; cables are not supplied at charging kiosks.
Pro Tip
PWM's entire gate area is one short concourse, so WiFi signal stays consistent everywhere post-security — no need to hunt for a stronger spot near any particular gate.
