TELUS has created free public Wi-Fi access with over 8,000 hotspots across B.C. and Alberta.
The telecommunications service provider is working with thousands of businesses to bring Internet access to areas with high foot-traffic, where they say Wi-Fi matters most.
TELUS customers will see their phones automatically switch to using the free Wi-Fi when they are in range.
Unlike other existing networks, TELUS’s Wi-Fi Is open to everyone. Non-TELUS customers have to connect through a splash page to access the service.
“Demand for wireless data outside the home is exploding and our customers are looking for more ways to connect to the Internet anytime, anywhere,” said Eros Spradotto, TELUS’ executive vice-president of Technology Strategy. “Our public Wi-Fi network is built to complement our world-class 4G network by providing our customers with new ways to connect and enjoy the best possible network experience, while also enabling our business clients to offer added value to their own customers.”
TELUS has launched the TELUS Wi-Fi app to make it easy to find a location that offers the free Wi-Fi. It is available as a free download through iTunes, the Google Play store and online at http://wififinder.telus.com.
