Free Wi-Fi has come to Iowa City’s Northside District.
According to a news release from ImOn Communications, the company has launched a free network that covers the outdoor dining area on North Linn Street between Market Street and the alley just north of Market, next to Hamburg Inn. The project is a joint venture between ImOn and the City of Iowa City.
The company says it utilizes access points located on North Linn Street that are connected to ImOn’s high-speed 10 gigabit fiber network. The Wi-Fi-access is offered for up to two hours per day per user. ImOn customers can enter their account number for unlimited access.
ImOn already offers free community Wi-Fi in the Ped Mall area, Chauncey Swan Park and its adjacent parking ramp, and Riverfront Crossings Park. Company officials say they will continue partnering with the City of Iowa City to offer free community Wi-Fi in additional locations in the future.
