Bitbuzz, has unveiled a complimentary Wi-Fi offering for visitors to Meeting House Square in Dublin’s Temple Bar. The service is available to both tourists and residents visiting the square.
Meeting House Square reopened in December 2011 following the installation of a retractable canopy providing an all-weather cover at outdoor events. The venue can hold over 400 people seated and will also be providing blankets to visitors on cold evenings.
Dermot McLaughlin, CEO of Temple Bar Cultural Trust, said: "We are in the business of bringing culture closer to people, so having complimentary Wi-Fi in a public space like Meeting House Square makes perfect sense. Our online community is growing all the time and we’re sure that complimentary Wi-Fi in the Square will be well used and appreciated. We are delighted to work with Bitbuzz – they understand our needs and they have worked with us to make Meeting House Square a place where creative connections can happen."
Des Kenny, Bitbuzz development manager, said: "Offering complimentary Wi-Fi in an outdoor space as unique as Meeting House Square is a new departure for Bitbuzz. Smartphones and Internet tablets have greatly increased the demand for complimentary Wi-Fi in venues across the board in 2011. Now that most people have access to the Internet so readily on their phone we expect that levels of usage in Meeting House Square will be exceptional. We hope that Meeting House Square is the first of many such outdoor venues for Bitbuzz."
Bitbuzz currently has over 320 Wi-Fi hotspots and over 8,000 hotel bedrooms in its network in Ireland and the UK, with further expansion planned for 2012.
