A new Wi-Fi network is to be launched covering the City of Hamilton.The service is the result of a joint venture with TeleBermuda International Limited (TBI).Mr Outerbridge said: “I am pleased to announce that the City of Hamilton is launching a Wi-Fi Network with full city coverage. The Wi-Fi service will enhance the experience of visitors and workers in the City of Hamilton and will be formally launched in June.“As part of the testing phase and given the large number of people expected in the City tomorrow for the Bermuda Day activities, TBI has opened the wireless network to allow free access throughout the day. The objective of the Beta testing is to ensure the system is fully operational, robust and can easily handle large numbers of people using the service at any given time.”Mr Outerbridge added: “Once the formal testing period has been completed, the service will be available to anyone who needs temporary or long-term internet access while in Hamilton. This is an ideal service for visitors to Bermuda, cruise ship staff together with anyone who may work in the City and needs to ensure they have access to email and the internet. We are finding that more and more people want internet access without being confined to an office and desk.”TBI President and Chief Operating Officer, Gregory Swan said: “Similar to the network which is currently operational throughout Dockyard, TBI has installed a Wi-Fi network which will allow anyone in the City with a Wi-Fi enabled device to be in touch while visiting, working, shopping or dining in the city.“We are happy to open the Wi-Fi network, on one of the biggest Bermuda holidays, Bermuda Day. We anticipate many people will be in Hamilton, watching the runners and then the parade. This is an ideal time to encourage people to bring their laptops, tablet devices and even their cellphones to log on during the beta testing period. It will give TBI an opportunity to closely monitor our network and provide the public with free internet access. The beta test will run for 12 hours, from 6am to 6pm.Mayor Outerbridge concluded: “Once the testing phase has been completed, the service, which is provided by the City of Hamilton and supported by TBI will be available for purchase on daily, weekly and monthly rates. I thank former Mayor Charles Gosling and his team, together with the Edward Benevides, the City of Hamilton Chief Operating Officer and Secretary, who had the foresight to start this initiative. We are now seeing the results of their work.”
