This measure aims to improve mobile internet accessibility and communication quality for residents and tourists using major tourist attractions and public spaces within the city.

The devices to be installed are the latest Wi-Fi equipment, 'WiFi 6 (802.11ax) AP.' Their advantage is that they can provide stable and fast internet service even when many users connect simultaneously.

Specifically, 14 devices will be installed near the lighthouse and coastal promenade in Jebudo; 8 devices will be placed at locations such as the Maehyangni Peace Memorial Hall in Maehyangni Peace Ecological Park; and 2 devices will be installed at areas such as the companion animal playground in Dongtan Yeoul Park.

In the case of Jebudo, the existing 'WiFi 5' devices will be upgraded to 'WiFi 6,' allowing residents and tourists to access faster internet services than before.

Visitors can simply turn on the Wi-Fi signal on their mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets, regardless of their carrier, and select 'G_PublicWiFi@Hwaseong.'

Sun Byungon, head of Hwaseong City's Information and Communication Division, said, "We will continue to expand the installation of public Wi-Fi to guarantee citizens' basic communication rights and bridge the digital divide."

Meanwhile, the city is currently operating 1,073 public Wi-Fi devices at 552 locations, including major tourist attractions, parks, public office buildings, bus stops, and cultural and sports facilities.
