Gangdong-gu Gangpul Manhwa Street, Seongnae and Dunchun Station Traditional Markets Public Wi-Fi Installation

Gangdong-gu Completes Installation of 27 Public Wi-Fi Units in Public Living Areas... Use Wireless Data Freely Without Worrying About Communication Costs

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon) has completed the public Wi-Fi installation project in public living zones frequently visited by residents and officially launched free Wi-Fi services starting this month.

Since October last year, the district has been promoting the installation of public Wi-Fi devices and upgrading outdated communication equipment to reduce residents' communication expenses and bridge the digital divide.

Recently, 27 wireless access points (APs) supporting Wi-Fi 6, the next-generation wireless LAN standard, were installed in public living zones such as Gangpul Manhwa Street and traditional markets (Seongnae, Dunchon Station).

Wi-Fi 6 offers speeds four times faster than previous Wi-Fi versions and enhanced security, enabling stable internet use without interruptions.

To use the public Wi-Fi, regardless of the telecom provider, select ‘SEOUL’ for general access (open network) or ‘SEOUL_Secure’ for secure access.

For secure access, enter both the ID and password as ’seoul’.

Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, “We will continue to expand public Wi-Fi projects in public living zones with high foot traffic to guarantee residents' basic communication rights and create a smart city Gangdong where anyone can use wireless internet without worrying about communication costs.”

Meanwhile, last year, the district also installed 131 public Wi-Fi wireless access points (APs) in 32 locations including welfare facilities and local community centers, improving convenience for facility users.
