CALGARY – Shaw Communications and Calgary Transit have announced six new locations for the public Wi-Fi servicing CTrain stations within that city’s downtown corridor.
The new locations include 3 Street, 4 Street, 6 Street, 7 Street, 8 Street, and Downtown West-Kerby.
Since the launch of public Wi-Fi in 2014, hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors to Calgary have enjoyed public Wi-Fi at City facilities. The most popular location, based on guest connections, is the City Hall CTrain Station, with over 36,000 users connecting to the ShawGuest hotspot per month.
"Calgarians love Wi-Fi and are using their personal devices to connect to the Internet while on-the-go more than ever before," said Shaw’s SVP consumer Chris Kucharski, in the news release. "We greatly value our relationship with the City of Calgary and are committed to working with them to provide high-quality Internet connectivity to Calgarians at the places they visit most often."
The City of Calgary awarded Shaw Communications with the contract to provide public Wi-Fi in city-owned locations in December 2013. There are now over 40 city facilities connected to public Wi-Fi, including recreation centres, arenas, golf courses and CTrain stations.
