AT&T* -- an industry leader in Wi-Fi with the nation's largest Wi-Fi network -- and the Tulsa International Airport today announced that AT&T Wi-Fi is available throughout the airport.

AT&T Wi-Fi service will be available at all gates, ticket counters and baggage claim areas, enabling travelers to use their smartphones, laptop computers, and other Wi-Fi enabled devices to stay connected. Tulsa International Airport adds to the growing list of AT&T Wi-Fi venues in popular locations where people have a need to stay connected.
