Warsaw’s free internet wireless network is set to grow in the coming weeks after its initial success in August.
Currently, the network is operational in Warsaw’s Old Town and Krakowskie Przedmiescie, and is served by 13 transmitters.
A further 11 Wi-Fi transmitters are to be installed by the Warsaw University Library and along the entirety of Nowy Swiat street.
The network, which is capable of speeds up to 450 kb/s and handling up to 1,000 users simultaneously, is set to grow next year in the vicinity of the National Stadium, a prerequisite set by UEFA ahead of the Euro 2012 tournament.
So far, Warsaw city authorities have spent around 150,000 zloty (37,000 euro) on the Wi-Fi network. (jb)
