Advanced broadband (Wi-Fi) services in 25 archaeological sites
COSMOTE, in cooperation with the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports, will offer wireless broadband services (Wi-Fi) at the 25 largest archeological sites and museums of the country, based on their significance and visitation. The total investment exceeds the amount of 3,000,000€ and includes the analyses and study of archaeological sites, the design and development of a wireless network infrastructure in locations selected by the Ministry of Culture and Sports, as well as the supply of necessary equipment, operation and maintenance of the networks, but also the free provision of wireless Internet services.
Our goal is to promote our country, our cultural heritage and our history through the development of new interactive and modern means of touring and presenting the exhibits. Free access to a broadband network at archeological sites and museums allows visitors to easily search for information about the monuments, to share their experience via the internet and social networks, but also for the relevant cultural institutions to develop new ways for guided tours and visitors’ hospitality.
