Westminster Libraries Go Wi-Fi
Posted: 17th Mar, 2006 By: MarkJ
Westminster's library users are set to benefit after the city council, in collaboration with BTOpenzone, became the first in the country to provide Wi-Fi access in all its libraries:
BT has installed BT Openzone Wi-Fi hotspots in all of the council's 13 library buildings, as well as its archive centre. The move will give library users and council workers even more flexible access to information on the internet, email and other e-government services.
The new Wi-Fi service is part of the council's ongoing Wireless City project, which also includes use of wireless technology to assist in crime and congestion reduction through CCTV, pollution and noise monitoring and remote working for council staff.
Wi-Fi will enable students to access the internet in Westminster's libraries using their own computers and laptops, making research for assignments and coursework simpler. Visitors can use the technology to find out up-to-the-minute local information and business users can use it to work in a pleasant and peaceful environment.
