The Municipality of Bologna started the «Iperbole Wireless» project, with the main aim to experiment the Wi-Fi technology and offer an innovative Internet access to the users. Iperbole Wireless gives - in partnership with telcos - free access to the Internet covering a city center wide area. This new experimental service guarantees the simultaneous coverage of almost 220 laptops in the historic center area where the Access Points are installed.
