Free Wi-Fi In all Mississauga libraries.
The City of Mississauga is introducing free wireless Internet access in its libraries, community centres and arenas through its wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network.
“The City is offering our facility visitors a truly convenient service,” said I.T. director, Jack Lawrence. “Making each public facility a “Wi-Fi Zone” will allow users to work online while visiting a community centre, arena or library. This service will be especially useful for students studying in our libraries and for parents who wait in our community centres and arenas while their children participate in City programs.”
The wireless Internet service can be accessed by visitors who bring notebook computers with wireless capability to City facilities. To log on to the City’s Wi-Fi network, visitors will require a valid Mississauga library card number and the last four digits of their phone number. New library patrons can access this service one business day after receiving a library card.
The City of Mississauga introduced free wireless Internet access in the Central Library as a pilot in October 2006 and its usage steadily increased over a one-year period. Currently, half of the City’s facilities offer free wireless Internet access and the remaining half will be “Wi-Fi Zones” by May 2008. A list of facilities currently offering Wi-Fi service as well as a list of upcoming Wi-Fi installations can be found at www.mississauga.ca/wireless.
Mississauga is Canada’s sixth largest city with a population of more than 700,000. With well-established infrastructure and state-of-the-art facilities, the City is considered to be an employer of choice, delivering quality municipal programs and services to its citizens. Mississauga is a dynamic, diverse and progressive municipality, known for its economic strength and for being Canada’s safest city.
