Twin Wireless Internet Hotzones Blanket San Francisco's Marina District
Free wireless Internet access is available indoors and outdoors in San Francisco's Marina district across Union and Chestnut Streets
Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) April 18, 2005 -- AnchorFree Wireless has announced the
launch of a second free wireless Internet (Wi-Fi) hotzone in the heart of San
Francisco’s Marina district. Consumers can access the Internet wirelessly at no
cost indoors and outdoors along Union Street.
A twin Wi-Fi hotzone is
located along Chestnut Street, within walking distance of the Union hotzone.
Together the two Wi-Fi hotzones give consumers access to free wireless Internet
in 120 locations including cafes, shops and restaurants. Consumers can access
the free service using wireless enabled laptops and PDAs.
"We are pleased
to support the efforts of AnchorFree to bring all citizens access to free
wireless broadband services," said Mayor Gavin Newsom. "This new service will
certainly benefit citizens, visitors and businesses on Chestnut and Union
Streets and further encourage technology innovation in San
Francisco."
“Once again AnchorFree is pioneering Mayor Newsom’s vision of
free wireless Internet service for every San Franciscan”, said David
Gorodyansky, President of AnchorFree Wireless. “Today San Franciscans have the
freedom to use our free wireless Internet service in over 120 locations in the
Marina District.”
AnchorFree has completed Intel® Centrino™ mobile
technology compatibility testing through the Intel® Wireless Verification
Program (WVP), helping to ensure consumers can enjoy the productivity and
lifestyle advantages of Wi-Fi technology within AnchorFree’s Wi-Fi
hotzones.
“As a participant in Intel’s wireless verification program,
AnchorFree has tested its Wi-Fi service for compatibility with common
configurations of notebook PCs based on Intel Centrino mobile technology,
Intel’s premier technology for wireless mobile computing,” said Karen Regis,
director of marketing programs for Intel’s Mobile Platforms Group. "By providing
consumers with free wireless Internet connectivity at 120 new locations in San
Francisco’s Marina District, AnchorFree helps enhance the 'unwired' experience
for Intel Centrino mobile technology users, connecting them back to their work
place as well as their family and friends.”
In May of 2004, AnchorFree
launched a Wi-Fi hotzone in downtown Palo Alto, California. The Marina districts
Wi-Fi hotzones are located approximately 30 miles from the downtown Palo Alto
hotzone.
