Cape Town – Life has just gotten a bit easier for travellers moving through Joburg’s Lanseria International Airport, with the launch of a brand new Wi-Fi zone earlier this month.
The Wi-Fi zone, powered by MWeb, is more than just a hot spot, as it designates a large area with multiple access points, making it much more accessible and easier to use.
Lanseria CEO Gavin Sayce said that they were happy to launch the new Wi-Fi service, as they know how important it is for travellers to stay connected during their transit.
He said that there is a great demand for international
airports, especially, to provide connectivity solutions for passengers, as it
is often needed to conduct business communication or travel-related
administration.
Instant internet access through Wi-Fi has added
a new dimension to killing time in travel limbo effectively. While 3G data
can be expensive, slow and unpredictable, Wi-Fi delivers fast and reliable
access to the internet emails and more. It has become the must-have feature for
airports serious about keeping passengers happy.
“Today’s air passenger is very connected.
Smart phones, laptops and tablets are a must-have accessory for travelers,
because it keeps them in touch with their world - even when stuck in an airport
lobby,” said MWeb Wi-Fi General Manager, Nathier Kasu. “MWEB has recognised this demand and
invested in bringing its world-class Internet experience to savvy users.”
For a limited period, passengers at Lanseria International
Airport can enjoy free high-speed uncapped WiFi internet. The MWEB Wi-Fi zone at
Lanseria International Airport blankets 97% of the facility, so passengers never risk losing
coverage.
MWeb WiFi has also launched the MWeb WiFi Unwired Spacelounge, which will be on display at Lanseria over the December season.
