Sea-Tac Airport will soon be making a $9.8 million upgrade to its Wi-Fi, replacing a 10-year-old system.

GeekWire reports the money will go toward installing two high performance Wi-Fi access ports in the terminal to speed up Internet connectivity and accommodate more users, as well as adding three access points near the parked aircraft for use by airport personnel.

“In the Seattle area, with Microsoft, Amazon, and other tech companies, our passengers demand we have a robust Wi-Fi," SEA-TAC's chief aviation technologist told GeekWire.
