Starting from June 2006 the Municipality of Bologna offers for its telematics community a new service: Iperbole Wireless (Iperbole is Bologna free internet portal and on line civic network since 1995), accessed by RadioLAN (Wi-Fi) and supported by private partners - Acantho S.p.A. (www.acantho.com) in collaboration with HI-TEL Italia S.p.A. (www.hitel.it) - who make available networks, broadband and technologies to the experimental service.

The new service is free for the end user; it is in a pilot phase which will continue during 2007 and more (according to the national law), and actually guarantees the contemporaneous coverage of some 220 mobile positions in an area of the old city centre equipped with Access Points.
