"Wi-Fi.HK" free wireless network throughout Hong Kong
|
This year, the Hong Kong government will work with private organizations to increase the number of completely free or free-time WiFi hotspots in Hong Kong to 20,000 by the end of the year, and launch a universal WiFi brand. Yesterday, the Hong Kong government announced that the name of the Hong Kong universal Wi-Fi brand will be officially named "Wi-Fi.HK", which means that WiFi hotspots starting with "Wi-Fi.HK" will be free Wi-Fi hotspots, which can be more easily identified by citizens and tourists. There are more than 3,500 "Wi-Fi.HK" hotspots In this year's budget, the Hong Kong government proposed to cooperate with private organizations to further build Hong Kong into a WiFi hotspot city, with the goal of doubling the number of completely free or free-time WiFi hotspots in Hong Kong to 20,000 by the end of this year. At the same time, in order to facilitate citizens and tourists to identify Wi-Fi hotspots, the Hong Kong government proposed in the budget to launch a universal Wi-Fi brand. Recently, the Hong Kong government commissioned the Hong Kong Wireless Technology Industry Association to hold an online vote, inviting citizens to select their favorite Hong Kong universal WiFi brand logo, which attracted more than 10,000 votes. The results of the public vote were announced yesterday, and the general Wi-Fi brand name in Hong Kong was officially established as "Wi-Fi.HK", and it is equipped with a brand logo. This means that citizens and tourists will be able to more easily identify WiFi hotspots in Hong Kong in the future, that is, as long as they recognize the name "Wi-Fi.HK", the Wi-Fi hotspots newly added by the Hong Kong government and private institutions in the future will be named after this name. The name "Wi-Fi.HK" is actually already in use. According to the Hong Kong government yesterday, as of now, the organizations participating in the "Wi-Fi.HK" brand plan include Hong Kong Telecom Limited, Hutchison Global Communications Limited, Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited, Y5Zone Limited, Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation. There are currently more than 3,500 Wi-Fi hotspots under the "Wi-Fi.HK" brand. This year, an app was launched to search for WiFi hotspots. How do you know where there are WiFi hotspots in Hong Kong under the "Wi-Fi.HK" plan? The Hong Kong government said that this year it will launch a dedicated website and mobile application for "Wi-Fi H K" to facilitate citizens and tourists to search for free Wi-Fi hotspots under the brand. This means that in the future, citizens and tourists can use the "Wi-Fi H K" website and app to search for Wi-Fi hotspots near their location. As of September 2013, the Hong Kong government has provided free WiFi hotspot services in about 420 government venues in 18 districts across Hong Kong. These venues include large parks, sports fields, public libraries, consultation service centers, government buildings and offices, community halls, job centers, cooked food markets, etc. The WiFi hotspots currently named "freegov wifi" and "freegovw ifi-e" are also free WiFi services provided by the Hong Kong government. Among them, "freegovw ifi" connects in a non-encrypted manner and does not require an account or password to connect directly. "freegovw ifi-e" connects in an encrypted manner, which makes Internet access safer, but requires an account and password. Both the account and password are "govw ifi". Reporter experience: No account or password is required for connection. The "Wi-Fi.HK" plan jointly promoted by the Hong Kong government and private organizations includes both Wi-Fi hotspots provided by private organizations and those provided by the Hong Kong government. At present, the free WiFi services provided by private organizations are mostly limited to free time periods, while the free Wi-Fi services provided by the Hong Kong government are mostly free of time periods and are completely free. In March this year, Southern Metropolis Daily investigated the Wi-Fi situation of 15 parks in Shenzhen that claimed to provide Wi-Fi services and found that most of them required sending authentication information and filling in account and password before logging on to the Internet, but the "Wi-Fi.HK" plan does not require filling in account and password. Southern Metropolis Daily reporter experienced the "Wi-Fi.HK" service in Tsim Sha Tsui yesterday. In Kowloon Park, after searching for "Wi-Fi.HK viaGovWifi" (Wi-Fi service provided by the Hong Kong government), you can connect to the Internet after clicking "Agree" to the terms of use. There is no need to send authentication information or fill in account and password. It is completely free. Near Canton Road, after searching for "Wi-Fi.HKviaHKT" (Wi-Fi service provided by Hong Kong Telecom) in "Wireless LAN", you can also directly connect to the Internet by clicking "Agree" to the terms of use, but each mobile phone only has 30 minutes of free service per day. Internet speed is affected by the number of people As for the Internet speed of free Wi-Fi in Hong Kong, it depends on the individual location. Yesterday, Southern Metropolis Daily reporters searched for "Wi-Fi.HKvia GovW ifi" signals in Kowloon Park and the Hong Kong Cultural Center Piazza in Tsim Sha Tsui, but due to the large number of people, the Internet speed was not ideal. At the Tourist Information Center set up by the Hong Kong Tourism Board at the Star Ferry in Tsim Sha Tsui, the "Wi-Fi.HKvia GovWifi" signal can also be found. Due to the small number of people in the information center, the Internet speed is quite fast. In the Harbour City area on Canton Road, you can search for "Wi-Fi.H Kvia HK T" signals, and the network speed is also relatively fast.
