Intel Corp. will help improve and promote The Boeing Co.'s in-flight wireless Internet access system. The companies said in a statement yesterday they tested Intel's Centrino chip set for laptops with the Connexion by Boeing Internet service. Boeing has its service available on more than 100 daily routes.

The agreement is aimed at expanding adoption of the in-flight system. Airlines, including Deutsche Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines, already offer Boeing's service, which beams the signal over radio waves using Wi-Fi technology.

Connexion by Boeing, a unit of Boeing, operates a high-speed wireless Internet service for commercial airlines and private planes. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel's Wireless Verification Program works with wireless service providers to improve the quality of Internet access.
