Visitors and customers at both the venues will be able to enjoy the benefits of a high-speed functioning WiFi connection at no extra costs, making it probably the largest free WiFi hotspot in this region, according to the companies.
“As a growing provider of free WiFi, FreeFi is committed to bring the best network and service to its customers, and to expand its brand nationwide. We believe we are operating the largest free WiFi hotspot’ on the East Coast with this partnership,” said Richard Bogen, managing director of FreeFi Networks. “We have developed a custom, venue-specific public network that is fast, easily accessible and economically sustainable based on advertising. In addition to the network, FreeFi has also created a content bar that presents the unique local qualities about Atlantic City that the Convention Center and Boardwalk Hall visitors want to know about,” Bogen added.
FreeFi received a multi-year contract as an award from the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority and covers the complete footprint of the Convention Centre right from the five exhibition halls to the pre-function areas as well as the rail station located adjacent to the coast and the Historic Boardwalk Hall.
“A priority for meeting planners who book large events is Internet access. Long lines for Internet kiosks during conventions looks like rows of unhappy guests to a meeting planner,” said Gary Musich, vice president of convention development for ACCVA. “Being able to tell our customers they will not be cut off from their office or e-mail during an event will help boost attendance and improve the experience. More than ever, Atlantic City must be proactive and creative in addressing the needs of planners, exhibitors and attendees,” Musich added.
Along with its suite of services, the Convention Center and Boardwalk Hall will also provide assistance to clients who ask for private WiFi with more bandwidth or wired connections for private local area networks. With sponsors like Microsoft (News - Alert), Toyota, Ford and Toshiba, and clients like Denver International Airport, FreeFi Networks has plans to continue expansion into other public venues in the country.
