Ningbo Free Wi-Fi to Cover Public Transport and Metro Line 2

A few days ago, free Wi-Fi service (iNingbo) started to be offered in Mao Ao Village in Jiangbei District, making it the first village covered by free wireless network in Ningbo. Starting from here, as a platform for citizens to get access to free Wi-Fi service, “iNingbo” officially extends its reach to villages.
Building a wireless city is the premise for the construction of a smart city. 4 years ago, Ningbo carried out a pilot project of “iNingbo”to open 20 free Wi-Fi hotspots in Haishu District, the first step in building a wireless city for Ningbo. By the end of July, 2016, the number of free Wi-Fi hotspots in public areas in Ningbo has already exceeded 4,000, occupying the second place in Zhejiang Province. Up to now, approximately 900 areas already have access to “iNingbo”, with 16 million total visits, 940,000 registered customers and 70,000 daily visits.
According to related officials of Ningbo Urban Intelligence Office, “iNingbo” has already covered many public areas including railway (bus) stations in counties and city hub, airports, subways, medical institutions, libraries, administrative service halls, parks, squares and tourist attractions.
At present, Ningbo is actively exploring the operation projects and construction modals of “iNingbo” in the fields of public transport and subway. It is said that Ningbo has already carried out selection and testing work of related equipment and 2000 to 3500 public buses and Ningbo Metro Line 2 will be covered by “iNingbo” in the first stage
