Gwangju Nam-gu to Install Public Wi-Fi in All Senior Centers Within the District

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeongnae) will install public Wi-Fi in all 242 senior centers in the district.

On the 2nd, Nam-gu announced that it will actively promote a public Wi-Fi support project targeting senior centers in the district to enhance the leisure life of the elderly based on online platforms and to provide differentiated welfare services in response to the increasing elderly population.

To promote this project, they partnered with KT Jeonnam-Jeonbuk Customer Headquarters.

The public Wi-Fi installation work is expected to be completed by the end of this month.

In addition to public Wi-Fi, IPTV dedicated channels provided by KT will also be opened in the senior centers in the district.

This is to allow seniors using the centers to freely watch various policy projects and events conducted by the district office, as well as disaster-related content.

A Nam-gu official stated, “With the promotion of the public Wi-Fi support project for senior centers in the district, the communication cost burden for the elderly will be greatly reduced, and opportunities for information acquisition will increase. We will provide opportunities for healthy and safe leisure activities by offering non-face-to-face programs linked with the Nam-gu Senior Welfare Center YouTube broadcasting station.”

Meanwhile, as non-face-to-face culture spreads due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, Nam-gu has been focusing on enhancing elderly welfare by recently operating the ‘Euddeum Hyo Nam-gu TV YouTube Broadcasting Station’ to provide various sights and entertainment for the elderly in the district.
