Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam has installed Wi-Fi terminals capable of 5G communication on all city buses to enhance convenience for citizens and visitors, and officially launched the service on the 1st.


The city replaced the existing LTE-based equipment on 773 city buses, which have been providing Wi-Fi service since 2019, with 5G/WiFi 6 communication-based devices to offer passengers high-quality Wi-Fi service.

Passengers using city buses can use 5G wireless Wi-Fi for free regardless of their mobile carrier. By turning on Wi-Fi on their phones and selecting the SSID ‘Public WiFi Free’ or ‘Public WiFi Secure’ in the wireless Wi-Fi settings, they can access the service. However, due to the nature of public Wi-Fi services accessible to anyone, it is recommended to use ‘Public WiFi Secure,’ which applies enhanced security technology.


Earlier this year, the city replaced outdated wireless Wi-Fi APs at Yongji Lake Park, Yongji Culture Park, Rose Park, and Corporate Love Park with wireless Wi-Fi APs supporting WiFi-6, improving speed and receiving positive feedback from citizens.



Jung Chung-hyun, the Information and Communication Officer, stated, “We will continue to strive to provide wireless Wi-Fi services that meet the expectations of our citizens.”
