Free Wi-fi mobility is now available in the central city and that’s what people want.
Everyone is on the move with mobile devices. People will be able to connect and undertake business outside their office.
Flick out your iPad or Android tablet in High Street, from Waterloo to Laing’s Roads, Andrews Avenue, Margaret Street or even when you are waiting for a bus in Bunny Street. Or do it when you are taking in the arts in the Dowse Square.
Wi-fi is here and it is free.
I have got to thank all of those who have made this possible. Because I think it is the best thing for our Central Business District.
Certainly our Technology Valley and the Technology Development group saw Wi –fi as the key to getting Lower Hutt recognised as the epicentre of technology for the Wellington region.
There is no doubt that our CBD Wi-Fi would not have been possible without the fibre cable network operated by Smartlinx 3. I wish to thank Roger MacDonald and his team for their willingness to make this happen. They worked with our Hutt City development team to provide a service covering key areas of the CBD.
The cooperation of building owners and managers has also been a significant factor. They gave permission for the antennae to be erected around the CBD to provide the essential connectivity. This support was a critical to the success of the project.
And there has been the wonderful support from our businesses who are enthusiastic about Wi-fi coming to town. We are confident it will help attract more people to the inner city and certainly stamp our mark as the Technology Valley®.
The long-term growth of our economy in Lower Hutt demands fresh thinking and an entrepreneurial attitude, expert input, and involvement and support from the whole community.
So thank you to everyone for your help in making our Lower Hutt CBD Wi-Fi a reality.
And just in case you do not have your own device, we are running a competition with an iPad as the prize – simply send a message from downtown Lower Hutt and you’re in
