More than 250 wireless access points will power the new Wi-Fi network, expanding wireless internet coverage and access across the city and many of its iconic sites including the Adelaide Central Markets, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the SA State Library and the bustling bars and restaurants of Peel Street.
The network will be utilising the latest in high-tech Wi-Fi networking equipment and infrastructure, and the project will be owned and operated by TPG Telecom for the next five years.
The new system is expected to be ready for use in the next 12 months.
