Chamber Funds Free Wi-Fi in Perth’s Resources Quarter

07 December 2007

Perth's largest resources and minerals companies have teamed up with Perth’s metromesh to provide a free wireless Internet zone in Perth’s resources quarter.

The free Wi-Fi service, known as ResourcesNet, is an initiative of the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia with the aim to foster creativity and connectivity in the Perth CBD. Access is sponsored by Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Woodside, who all have their Perth headquarters in the western end of the CBD.

"A free Internet service like this - which is switched on 24 hours per day, seven days a week - has not been provided on this scale ever before in Australia," said CME chief executive Tim Shanahan.

ResourcesNet’s Wi-Fi coverage is generally available 24 hours per day, seven days a week, within the Perth Resources Quarter, which extends along St Georges Terrace west from William Street to the Barracks Arch near Parliament House, and from Hay Street, south to Mounts Bay Road.

ResourcesNET is a virtual network service that operates on the existing RoamAD powered metromesh network.
