View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] LG Electronics has decided to pre-install a public Wi-Fi application on new IT products such as the Gram, scheduled for release early next year. The company aims to enable more customers to conveniently use public Wi-Fi.
On the 28th, LG Electronics announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the National Information Society Agency (NIA) to promote public Wi-Fi activation. Public Wi-Fi is a free internet service provided by the government, local governments, and telecommunications companies, available at public places frequently used by citizens such as community centers, welfare facilities, traditional markets, and city buses. NIA is responsible for its construction and operation.
Through this agreement, NIA will develop and provide a Windows-based public Wi-Fi app. LG Electronics plans to pre-install the developed public Wi-Fi app on IT products such as the Gram and UltraGear laptops, scheduled for release early next year.
At the signing ceremony held the previous day at Nodeul Island Live House in Seoul, Park Won-jae, Deputy Director of NIA, said, “We have focused on expanding public Wi-Fi to reduce household communication expenses and strengthen communication accessibility for the public, and we will continue to make efforts to activate it. This MOU will be an opportunity for more citizens to use public Wi-Fi.”
