Shaw Communications is proud to begin the trial of its WiFi
Network, announced in September 2011. Beginning December 6,
customers will be able to try out the service at a limited number
of locations, in advance of Shaw's official launch in Spring
2012.
Customers in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton can trial the
service at a variety of locations - including malls, restaurants
and fitness facilities. Hundreds of access points will be added in
the coming months, with thousands of locations being activated
across the Shaw footprint in the next three years.
"Canadians' use of smart phones and tablet devices has grown
exponentially over the years and more than ever, consumers are
relying on data to explore the Internet, connect with loved ones
and enjoy entertainment," said Peter Bissonnette, President, Shaw
Communications Inc. "With Shaw WiFi, customers will have access to
their exceptional Broadband Internet service beyond the home."
A list of Shaw's WiFi Network trial locations is available by
visiting www.shaw.ca/wifi. Users will be able to log in at a WiFi
location using their shaw.ca email address and password, and
authenticate up to eight devices seamlessly. Customers will
experience similar speeds as their home Internet service -
extending the broadband experience beyond the home.
