Wi-Fi服务进入伦敦

AMTeam.org消息：伦敦人进一步走近Wi-Fi。

伦敦城公司正与欧洲最大的Wi-Fi网络运营商The Cloud公司合作以安装和管理伦敦金融区的无线宽带基础设施。

The Cloud公司的发言人表示，金融区的服务将会在接下来的数月中正式推出，整个城市的设施配置将在六个月内完成。该公司上个月宣布计划为城市的数个热点地区推出无线服务，而该公司与Square Mile、Britain’s 金融区的当地政府签定了服务协议。

通过安置在灯柱、街标和其它设施上的设备可以提供高速网络、多媒体电邮、音乐、音频和视频的无线服务，任何服务供应商都可以使用这项服务。

而之前欧洲委员会公布去年欧洲平均每天增加52000个宽带接入点，目前总数为5300万个接入点。

Wi-Fi Moving ToLondon

Londoners are a step closer to getting Wi-Fi.

The City of London Corporation is entering into a partnership with The Cloud, Europe's largest Wi-Fi network operator to install and manage wireless broadband infrastructure in the city's financial district.

The service is expected to go live within the next few months and the entire city will be covered within six months, according to an announcement this week from The Cloud. The company announced its plans to provide wireless hotspots in several cities last month, and now the organization that provides local government services to the Square Mile, Britain's financial and commercial center, has signed on.

The high-speed Internet, rich e-mail, music, video and voice over wireless services will be available through devices installed in lamp posts, street signs and other existing fixtures. Any service provider will be able to use the service.

The news comes just after the European Commission reported that the number of broadband connections increased by 52,000 a day in Europe last year, for 53 million connections total.
